Real-time tracking and delays
The timetables are approximate only as the bus may be a few minutes late if there are many people getting on and off.
We recommend downloading the UQ SafeZone app, which will let you track the location of the bus in real time.
To track the bus’s location, go to ‘Buses’ in the menu and you’ll see the bus in motion via a live GPS feed direct from the bus. This can save you waiting for long periods at a bus stop when there may be a safer, more comfortable location nearby.
