New CBD network

Changes to the inner-city will reduce bottlenecks, ease congestion and will make public transport easier and more convenient to use..

Proposed CBD Network – All-day services

Currently, most high-frequency routes stop at the Cultural Centre station, under the new network we're redistributing services between Roma Street station, King George Square station, Queen Street bus station and Cultural Centre station.

Other CBD changes include:

• a new transport corridor within Mary Street
• connecting Cross River Rail’s Albert Street station with Fortitude Valley
• a more accessible and easier-to-use bus stop hub at Post Office Square
• some southern and eastern services accessing the CBD will be via the Captain Cook Bridge

Download PDF map

Proposed CBD Network – peak services

Under the new network, most peak services will have a consistent morning and afternoon bus stop location.

In the afternoon peak period, many of the peak service stops will be centrally located to key pedestrian thoroughfares, providing you more convenient options.

Some southern and eastern peak services that currently travel to Fortitude Valley, will no longer do so. To access Fortitude Valley you can transfer to the new high-frequency peak service, Route 26 – Griffith University station to RBWH station on the South East Busway.

How to Take a Bus in Brisbane

Last Updated: November 26, 2023 References

wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, 12 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has been viewed 32,155 times. Learn more...

Brisbane's public transport consists of trains, ferries, and most commonly buses. This article specifically deals with how to catch a bus in Brisbane, taking you through each step from finding information about your trip, the trip itself, to arriving at your destination.

• You will need to find out where the bus stop is, what bus routes you can take to your destination, what times the buses come, and how much money you will need in cash or on your GO card.

• Once the bus has pulled up at the stop, and the doors open, check to see if anyone on the bus is moving to get off the bus and let them off first, before stepping onto the bus yourself.

• If paying by cash , have your cash ready, and any concession cards, and tell the driver you would like a ticket, where you are going, and show them your concession cards, and the driver will print you a ticket. Prepaid services however do not sell tickets, so you will either have to have already bought a ticket elsewhere, or use a GO card.
• If using a ticket you already have , show it to the driver so he can inspect it. The ticket will have on it what zones it can be used in, the date it to be used on, and the time it expires. If your ticket has expired, or you are not traveling in the zones on the ticket, you will need to purchase another ticket.
• If using a GO card , [2] X Research source touch the card to the circular pad on the card readers on either side of the door as you enter. There will be an audible beeping, a pair of green, orange, or red lights will flash, and a small screen will display a message. When it beeps flashes green or orange, it will display your current card balance. Your card has been read, and you can remove your card from the reader. If it beeps and flashes red, it may display several different messages. It may mean your card has not read properly because you did not hold it to the reader for long enough, or there was interference from another card or a mobile phone. It could also mean that the card has expired, been cancelled, or does not have enough credit on it to pay for your journey. [3] X Research source

• If you are disabled, pregnant, or elderly, and there are no seats available, you can request other passengers stand to let you sit. There are designated priority seating areas for disabled, pregnant, and elderly passengers, where passengers have to stand for these people. There is also space on buses for two wheelchairs or prams where seats can be folded up to make room.

• Keep mobile phone use to a minimum as it disturbs fellow passengers. If you are listening to music or other audio use headphones so as to not disturb other passengers. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 2
• Bikes are not allowed on buses, unless they can compactly fold and fit in the luggage racks. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
• Tertiary students can no longer buy concession tickets with their student card, or travel on a concession GO card. To receive the student concession, you must purchase an adult GO card, and register it with Translink to then get the concession applied to it. [5] X Research source Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

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

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 .

Moscow Bus Network

Moscow's crazy traffic and its excellent metro network mean that the city's buses and trolleybuses aren't the number one option for tourists .

Moscow has hundreds of bus and trolleybus routes , many of which connect the city centre with its otherwise-isolated suburban neighbourhoods. Regular traffic jams mean that the bus network has not always been the most recommendable option , especially as the metro is so efficient. 

Having said that, new bus lanes have opened up recently making it a comfortable alternative for certain routes. The bus can be a good, economical option at night , when 13 routes replace the metro after it shuts down (all starting from Kitay-Gorod metro and taking the main roads out to the edge off the city).

More modern buses have screens indicating the stops along the route, but in older ones you may well struggle knowing where to get off if relying on the Russian-language loudspeaker announcements .

If you do decide to catch the bus, tickets can be purchased from kiosks and metro stops, and the majority of lines operate between 6 am and 1 am.
