Inter-campus shuttle bus

Regular, free shuttle buses (with free wi-fi) link the Peninsula campus with the Clayton campus, and the Peninsula campus to Frankston Railway Station. Just show your valid Monash student or staff card to use the service, which also accepts children, aged under four. You board on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. Buses fill quickly at busy times, so don’t be late if you want a seat.

View shuttle bus times here. A trip on this single-bus service between Peninsula and Clayton takes 30–50 minutes, depending on traffic. From the Clayton Bus Loop, board at Bay G and from Peninsula, board at the George Jenkins Theatre.
