• Your nearest tram stop is Plenty Rd on the Route 86.
• There are so many buses to get you to campus, like the 250, 301, 350, 548, or the 566.
• The train will get you to Reservoir Station, where you can catch the 301 bus for a quick connection to campus (only runs during semester) or the 561 bus. From Heidelberg Station, you can catch the 551.

Victoria Uni, Footscray Park

• The best bus to get to campus is the 406 and 409 along Ballarat Rd, or the 472 along Farnsworth Ave.

What’s the deal with fares?

Your fare depends on where you get on and off – and whether you’re travelling in a metro or regional area. But no matter how far you travel in one day, or how many trips you take, you’ll never pay more than $10.60. Find out more about fares and fare caps here.
