5 What can you do? Follow the trend Both staff and students are increasingly ditching the car and using public transport. Why not start by trying it one day a week? Tax incentives makes it cost effective too! DART to UCD? With the shuttle bus from Sydney arade running all semester why not consider trying the DART to commute? Challenge yourself At times it can be difficult to fit in exercise into our busy schedules. Why not try walking, cycling or running to UCD and integrate your commute and exercise? Your health and wallet would benefit!
