Epping station bus stop, its under the white building in the corner, jsut follow the students.

288
290
292
296

all go to Macq uni from epping station, 10 min bus trip in non peak hr. costs u 80c. Dont walk, very hilly and might get ran over since there are no pathways in the hilly epping road.

it's doable i think, but so is drinking 5L of coke at breakfast - it's doable, but, you are better off not doing that - use the milk, i mean bus!

At the moment the bus stop has moved to Pembroke, nr Oxford due to the construction.

The 292 goes from Marsfield to the City (via uni) so you won't be able to catch it from Epping.

You forgot the 295 (North Epping to Macquarie Park via epping station and uni). And there's also the 140 (Epping to Manly via uni) which only travels twice a day hehe.

It really shat me the other day when the 295 bus driver saw me running towards the bus stop at uni about 30 metres out. I signalled him during my run, but the bus didn't stop as the 4 people at the stop did not signal the driver. I was thinking fine, they must be waiting for the Para bus. And then the 288 finally arrives 10-12mins later...and low and behold, each of those 4 people get on the frickn bus. Like wtf?! I mean they waste their own time as well as mine by letting a perfectly fine Epping bus go. Grr... Ok, rant over.

withaface - I can't actually believe you'd catch a bus from uni to the mac centre (it's under 3 mins!) Unless it's from the AFRTRS stop - then fully understandable.

haha, awesome.


Also, screw numbers. Just go to the bus stop and hop on any bus there, it all leads to Mac.


Also also, (wait for it, I have the whole laziness pat down). If you don't like walking up the steps at Epping station and walking across the road to the bus stop, get off at Eastwood, the bus stop is down stairs and straight out, the walk is a little shorter than the one from epping station to the bus stop.. anyways, get the 545 to Chatswood (DON'T FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HOP ON THE 545 TO PARRAMATTA) and that also takes you to mac. In the morning there are more express trains to Eastwood than ones that go to Epping.

hahaha shhhhh. At least at Eastwood you don't have to compete with bloody epping boys high boys to get on the bus!

IAB I'm assuming you've caught the bus from Eastwood. ANYWAYS, It always puzzles me, all the fobs go on the otherside of the station once they get off the train, so when the bus goes around the corner, they always miss out because the bus is full, so why do they still do that? (YES, this deeply and thoroughly amuses/annoys me).
