Travel options
There are tons of travel options running every day to St Lucia Campus. Bus passengers have the choice of two dedicated interchanges:
- UQ Lakes busway station servicing routes from the CBD, the Inner East, Carindale, Eight Mile Plains and Logan.
- UQ Chancellors Place servicing routes from the CBD, the Inner West, Toowong and Indooroopilly.
The CityCat runs frequently along the Brisbane River to UQ’s own ferry terminal. Catching the ferry is a great way to unwind after a long day’s study.
Train passengers are also looked after with easy bus transfer options at Park Road and Toowong stations.
