What's the best way to get to Usyd? (1 Viewer)

[Alex499]

I live in Sans Souci = no train station and one bus that goes between miranda and Kogarah. I do however have a car so I can drive to Cronulla, Woolooware, Caringbah, Miranda, Gymea, Hurstville, Allawah, Carlton, Kogarah or Rockdale stations. Preferably one of the later ones, simply because it makes the trip half an hour less. Does anyone know if there is any cheap all day parking at any of these stations?

And is the walk from Redfern Station alright? I did it on info day without any problems. I walked half an hour every day to school so that's not a problem. Redfern has a bit of a dodgy reputation though so would it be better to go to central and bus it?

You could drive to Rockdale Plaza and park there, then walk/bus to the station. Trains should come pretty often to take you to Central, and then I believe there is a bus to USYD.

Redfern is fine during the day. There is a constant stream of usyd students walking from the station to uni. It's not worth the extra effort going to central.

Redfern is mostly fine at night too. Not great, but not a death march.

Well, my enrolment is on this week. It states from 2 pm to 4 pm on the site . So, I would probably get to Redfern aboout 1.30 pm (or earlier) and then walk. Would it be safe at this time ? How about on my trip back ?

How about on my trip back ?

Youll be fine. As long as its not a weekday. Or even a weekend for that matter.

So yeh, just avoid those periods, and youll be fine

That doesn't make sense. =\

That doesn't make sense. =\

he's just kidding. seriously, redfern's fine.

 

[konkzz]

Cool, I'll jog/run there and back just in case .

Redfern's not what it used to be, most of the Abo's are harmless there these days.

Can you jog/run at the speed of light?

If you can, youll be fine

 

[nicko1990]

you might as well drive to usyd. much, much easier, rather than have to car, train AND walk

 

[konkzz]

Okay, that's it. I'm taking the bus.

 

[nicko1990]

plus you avoid the above said threats. just put a steering wheel lock on. lol.

 

[black_kat_meow]

Okay, that's it. I'm taking the bus.

Lol, that's pathetic, it's the middle of the day.

 

[konkzz]

That was a joke .

 

[Miss Winey]

I've walked the redfern strip everyday for 4 years now, and i've never had any problems. never felt unsafe, never been interrogated, never had anyone come up to me randomly. it's FINE.

if you're really concerned Sydney Uni has a security bus that does 30 minutes round trips to redfern and around uni.
it's free.

 

[black_kat_meow]

Well, considering the joke you took seriously before, I didn't think you were capable of sarcasm.

lol You make it sound like they are domesticated cats or something.

 

[konkzz]

LOL, calm down.
