'FLEX' Flinders University's self-driving shuttle bus takes a break

After almost two years on the road, Flinders University's self-driving shuttle bus named ‘FLEX’ will be taking a break from service. This move is made as a precautionary measure to the community and operators during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shuttle will be back on road when it is safe to resume.

Take a ride on a driverless shuttle

In a 'first mile — last mile' public transport trial, Flinders University has partnered with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, RAA and several industry project supporters to provide a driverless shuttle at Flinders University’s Tonsley and Bedford Park campuses.

The Tonsley stage of this trial commenced on 19June 2018. The shuttle is used on public roads between the nearby Clovelly Park Train Station and Tonsley’s Main Assembly Building (MAB), including connections to bus stops on South Road and businesses within the Tonsley Innovation District.
