Getting around Brisbane

With riverside expressways and an extensive public transport system, getting around Brisbane is straightforward and efficient.

By Mark Sariban

Brisbane is an easy city to get around. The metropolitan area has a great range of options for public transport, driving, cycling and walking. Here’s how to move around the city with ease.

Transport in Brisbane

River City Cruises, Brisbane, Queensland © Tourism Australia

• Airport Transfers
• Accessibility

Brisbane has an extensive public transport system of buses, trains and ferries. To use the network, it’s recommended that you purchase a TransLink Go Card . You can also purchase pre-paid paper tickets at stations and fare machines before boarding a bus, train or ferry service.

• Use a Go Card on the TransLink network throughout southeast Queensland, including services from Brisbane to the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast .
• Purchase a Go Card and load it with funds at designated retailers at Brisbane Airport and convenience stores, and at train stations throughout the city. Go Card also has specific offers for visitors and tourists. You can add money to the card at fare machines and Go Card retailers across the city.
• Tap your Go Card on the reader when you board your selected mode of transport and be sure to tap off when you disembark.
• You can also pay for selected train fares with contactless credit cards, debit cards and mobile devices, with smart ticketing being rolled out across the public transport network. 

Tip: If you are using a credit card, debit card or mobile device instead of a Go Card, be sure to use the same payment method when you tap on and tap off.

Brisbane is serviced by domestic and international terminals at Brisbane Airport (BNE). There are several options for reaching the city from the airport.

• The Airtrain runs from the domestic and international terminals to stations in Brisbane’s city centre. Travel time between the airport and the city is around 20 minutes, with services running every 15–30 minutes. Use a Go Card for your fare or purchase single tickets for travel. Purchase your tickets in advance through the Airtrain website for discounted fares.
• You’ll find taxi ranks and rideshare pick-up areas at the front of each terminal – simply follow the signage. The journey from the airport to the city takes around 20 minutes outside of peak periods. 
• If you’re travelling with a lot of luggage, you can book a door-to-door airport transfer with Con-X-ion .

Tip: Even if you’re travelling in a group of four or more, it will be less expensive to travel to the city by Airtrain than taxi or rideshare.

In Australia, airlines, trains, buses and ferries have accessible options for people using mobility devices, as well as services for hearing and vision impaired travellers.

• Brisbane Airport provides special assistance for people with disabilities and can help with baggage, getting around the airport, and getting on and off the plane. 
• The majority of trains have accessible options – check the TransLink website for information on using public transport before your trip.
• All Brisbane City Council buses have low floors providing level access, as well a wheelchair ramps.
• All CityCat ferries and most terminals are fully accessible. However, CityHopper and Cross River Ferry services are not accessible.

Getting around Brisbane on public transport

City Cat, Brisbane, Queensland © Tourism and Events Queensland

Brisbane’s rail network is a great way to visit attractions across the city and reach the surrounding suburbs. Use the Journey Planner tool to map your route.

• Major stations in the city include Central Station and Roma Street Station. From either of these stations, you can catch a train to reach attractions including the Queensland Museum or the Gallery of Modern Art , and destinations such as South Bank or Fortitude Valley.

Brisbane has a number of busways that separate buses from other traffic on the roads. The bus network is an efficient way of hopping around Brisbane and its neighbourhoods. Use the Journey Planner tool to map your route.

• Free City Loop and Spring Hill Loop bus services operate in the city centre. These bus loops run in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, and depart every 10 minutes between 7am and 6pm. 
• CityGlider bus services pass through the city centre on two routes: from West End to Teneriffe; and from Ashgrove to Coorparoo. These services run every 5–15 minutes.

The Brisbane River makes its way through the centre of Brisbane, so ferries are a popular way to get around. 

• The free CityHopper ferry operates between North Quay terminal in South Bank and Sydney Street wharf in New Farm. You can use this service to travel to the Howard Smith Wharves dining and entertainment precinct. 
• Use a Go Card to catch the CityCat ferry , which will take you to attractions like Eat Street Northshore and the City Botanic Gardens.

Getting around Brisbane by car

James Street, Brisbane, Queensland © Tourism and Events Queensland

Driving in Brisbane is straightforward and safe, but you may want to check whether your hotel charges a daily parking fee. 

• Brisbane City Council operates two centrally located car parks , at King George Square and Wickham Terrace. 
• You can also book tours to many of the stunning destinations outside of Brisbane and leave the driving to someone else.

Brisbane is serviced by two major taxi companies, 13cabs and Black & White Cabs . 

• You can hail a taxi on the street or at taxi ranks in built-up areas. 
• Secure taxi ranks operate late at night on Fridays and Saturdays in busy locations. 
• You can also book a taxi by phoning individual companies, downloading their apps or using the GoCatch app.

Most major ridesharing platforms operate in Brisbane, including Uber , Ola and DiDi , as well as local operator GoCatch .

Tip: Female travellers can also book a ride with Shebah , a rideshare service with all-women drivers catering to women. (Adult men can use the service if they need to transport a child who requires an approved child safety seat.)

Make the most of your time in Brisbane with a guided tour. There are numerous tour operators providing customisable half-day and full-day tours of the city and surrounds, including Prestige Day Tours and, for foodies, Delectable Tours . 

• Enjoy an emissions-free sightseeing tour of Brisbane by pedicab with Green Cabs . 
• See the sights of Brisbane by Segway with Kangaroo Segway Tours .

• River City Cruises offers daily sightseeing cruises along the Brisbane River. 
• Mirimar Cruises runs Koala and Brisbane River Cruises that include a visit to nearby Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary . 
• Both cruise companies operate from the Cultural Centre Pontoon, South Bank.

With an extensive network of separated bike paths , including along the riverbanks surrounding the city centre, cycling around Brisbane is easy. 

• The CityLink Cycleway provides protected bike lanes through the heart of the city.

The Gateway Motorway and the first Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge opened in 1986. The second, duplicate bridge opened in 2010.

In 1997, the 10.4-kilometre Gateway Extension Motorway was opened, connecting the Gateway Motorway with the Logan Motorway.

Transurban Queensland bought these roads in 2014. They are 62.5% Transurban owned and are under concession until 2051.

Other operations

Inner city bypass.

The 5-kilometre Inner City Bypass is Brisbane’s busiest arterial road, linking AirportLinkM7, Clem7, Legacy Way, Go Between Bridge, Lutwyche Road and Kingsford Smith Drive. The bypass is a key link in Brisbane’s road network and is the only non-toll road Transurban operates. The Inner City Bypass has eight lanes – four westbound and four eastbound.

The bypass was built by Brisbane City Council and opened in 2002.

In 2017, Transurban Queensland funded and delivered the Inner City Bypass Upgrade on behalf of Brisbane City Council. The upgrade was completed in 2018 and provided increased capacity, improved travel times and safer travel for all road users. It also improved connectivity to Legacy Way and the wider road network.

Following the upgrade completion, Transurban Queensland now manages operations, maintenance and incident response along the Inner City Bypass.

Transurban Queensland operates and maintains this bypass on behalf of Brisbane City Council. Under a concession agreement, Transurban Queensland provides operations and incident response on the Inner City Bypass until 2065; and routine maintenance services on a 10-plus-10-year contract.

Toowoomba Bypass

The Queensland Government’s Toowoomba Bypass is a 41km-long bypass route running from the Warrego Highway at Helidon Spa in the east to the Gore Highway at Athol in the west, via Charlton. The Toowoomba Bypass (formerly known as Toowoomba Second Range Crossing) provides an alternative crossing of the Toowoomba Range for drivers to bypass Toowoomba town centre.

The Toowoomba Bypass provides improved freight efficiency and driver safety, relieves pressure on Toowoomba’s roads, and enhances liveability for the city’s residents.

Transurban Queensland provides tolling as a service on the Toowoomba Bypass on behalf of the Department of Transport and Main Roads. This is the first time Transurban has offered this type of service.

The Toowoomba Bypass opened to traffic on 8 September 2019.

The Toowoomba Bypass is owned and operated by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.

Logan Enhancement Project

Construction of the Logan Enhancement Project is now complete. The project upgraded parts of the Logan and Gateway Extension motorways.

Project work included:

• upgrades to key interchanges
• new access ramps
• road widening
• new cycling and walking paths
• better protection and new habitat for wildlife.

The project was awarded an ‘Excellent’ Design Rating by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia.

The Logan Enhancement Project created more than 1,300 direct construction jobs and delivered benefits to the economy, community, industry and environment, including:

• enhanced safety – up to 59 per cent reduction in accidents caused by merging, weaving and stop-starting
• travel-time-savings – motorists are now getting 20 minutes back in their day
• reliability – more consistent journey times
• enhanced connectivity via new south-facing ramps.

Timing and cost

Detailed design started in early 2017 and construction began in June 2017. Construction was completed in August 2019.

This project was delivered at no cost to the Queensland Government. Transurban Queensland financed 100% of the project’s $512 million cost.
