Public transport

Adelaide Metro's Flinders train line is the fastest way to reach the Bedford Park campus from the CBD - a 22-minute trip direct to Flinders Station. Adelaide Metro buses also service the area, connecting from southern suburbs, nearby train stations and Marion Shopping Centre.

Flinders Railway Line

Flinders University is now even easier to get to thanks to the Flinders Railway Line and Flinders Station, offering students and other commuters a faster, smoother journey from the CBD, in just 22 minutes.

Catch the FLNDRS (Flinders to City) train and you'll have enough time to watch a few TikToks, catch up on some reading or just relax with your playlist. And with the free Campus Connector and Tonsley Link bus services running 7am – 6pm Monday to Friday, getting to and from your studies is simple. You’ll be able to schedule your day without worrying about missing a single lecture! 

And it’s not just for people commuting from the CBD. You may be coming from Noarlunga for Nursing, Lonsdale for Languages, or Seaford for Social Work – wherever your origin, Flinders University is now quicker and easier to get to.
