Train and bike
If you live near a train line, why not ride to the nearest station (or push yourself by riding to one further away), catch the train to either Box Hill or Jordanville Station and then ride along the Gardiner’s Creek Trail to campus. Bicycles on trains are free and it will save you time waiting for connecting buses.
As of February 18 2008, the ban on bikes on peak hour trains has been officially withdrawn.
Cyclists are asked to use the last door of the last carriage where possible, and strongly advised to avoid the front of the train, where wheelchair users board.
So take your bike out of storage and ride to Deakin - you'll feel better for it!
