Overview

The upgrade of the Science Drive bus stop to a premium stop is part of La Trobe University's commitment to improving access to the University and the arrival experience of students, staff, and the community.

The upgraded stop will enable the commencement of a high-frequency bus shuttle service (funded jointly by the University and the Victorian State Government) from Reservoir Station to La Trobe University commencing February 2016.

In line with the Melbourne Campus Masterplan, the upgrade represents the first of four packages as part of the University's Western Gateway Project which will re-activate external and refurbish internal spaces along an east-west corridor from Science Drive to the Agora retail precinct.
