Students on CQUniversity Rockhampton and Gladstone campuses are now able to commute between campuses with relative ease. 

A shuttle bus service between the two campuses was launched this week, bringing the beef capital and port city campuses closer together than ever before.

The service has been well received, particularly by Gladstone based Nursing students Natalie Richardson, Meryl Jess, Cathy McNeilly and Megan Graham.

The four students, who are in the final year of their program, have been regularly commuting between Rockhampton and Gladstone for Nursing lectures, not content to be distance education students with their classes being only 100 kilometres down the road.

They say the service will make their life much easier and save them hundreds on fuel.

Humanities lecturer Dr Andrew Wallace is also a fan of the service, allowing him to conduct classes on both campuses in the same day much easier.

The free service to students and staff will be running twice daily from both campuses until Friday 28 September as a trial for the Term 2 study period.

Seats are limited, so bookings are essential and must be made by 4pm the day prior to travelling.
