Transport
To see if anyone is commuting from the same region as you, explore the University's Liftshare map (PDF, 126 KB). To maintain the anonymity of users, this map does not provide enough detail to identify where anyone is travelling from in any detail - it merely shows the general area where they start their registered journey.
