Taxi bookings in Kensington
Kensington is home to most of UNSW's main campus, so a lot of trips here involve students and staff: airport runs at the start and end of term, moves between colleges, and late-night trips home. The L3 light rail runs down the middle of Anzac Parade.
Cars can't stop in the light rail corridor, and Anzac Parade has limited stopping. Choose a side street or a campus gate as your pickup.
