Curtin University Renews Free Shuttle Bus Service with Horizons West
Students, staff and the public will continue to enjoy free local transport to and from Curtin University, thanks to Curtin Access Bus Service (CABS).
The free CABS initiative, powered by Perth's leading bus and charter company, Horizons West, provides a safe, affordable and convenient way for the community to travel between Curtin University's Bentley Campus, Technology Park and surrounding suburbs including Waterford, Bentley, Victoria Park and South Perth. The complimentary buses operate Monday through Friday during normal semester weeks and can be hailed at any point along their designated routes.
Key features of CABS:
Free to use: CABS is a free service for students, staff and the public.
Wheelchair-accessible: The service includes wheelchair-accessible buses, handrails and grab-rails.
Multiple routes: There are five convenient bus routes servicing the University and surrounding areas.
Operating hours: The service operates from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM on weekdays during each semester.
Live bus tracking: Passengers can track CABS buses in real-time using the Curtin CABS app, available on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
The Curtin CABS app offers live GPS bus tracking, route mapping, and access to timetables, enhancing the passenger experience through user-friendly and reliable service information.
Almost one million customer journeys will be completed each year with CABS five dedicated buses. The free buses also service Curtin’s multi award-winning Exchange precinct, a state-of-the-art facility that combines hospitality, shopping, learning, and teaching facilities, vibrant retail spaces, accommodation options and recreational areas.
