Kaimai Shuttle
The Kaimai Shuttle service is available to enrolled students who need to be on the other campus for University studies or a University-related event. It is expected that students book a return trip on the same day.
The service is also available to staff who are required to work across both campuses, and to full-time students who have tutoring or similar roles with the University on the other campus. Line manager approval is required.
The Kaimai Shuttle buses run Monday to Friday during teaching weeks of Trimesters A, B and C, and teaching periods G and H (excluding public holidays).
The service does not run during teaching recesses, study and exam weeks.
