thats coz the 400 is bloody packed with people whenever it's near unsw (during peak times)
also coz its the bus to the airport. State transit has to show off to the tourists
i've taken it from Campsie and it took me an hour... but from burwood i reckon around 1 hr and 20 minz coz it takes me around 20 minz to get to Burwood from Campsie
I use to get it to work in the morning from Rockdale Station, and this is your 5:45am service - and it was pretty packed for such an early time. Peak Hour, you can't sit down, and at night, too, it's nigh on impossible. And they never ever run on time, it's the worst run when it comes to being on-time. If it's possible for you, get to Rockdale Station and get the 410, it runs on time and misses the airport, just goes straight down Qantas Drive...
well i live in mascot and it takes about 45 minutes to get to unsw...but thats only when the freaknig bus is running on time which seems to be never......in fact I think its fair to compare the 400 to sydney Train System.
But yah it is true....as the 400 gets closer to UNSW it gets more packed...but thats ok....cause almost everyone gets of there at the same time.
If you live near a station..catching a train then catching a bus from central might even be faster...but with Sydneys trains I dont know about that
