CityCat and ferry services
Brisbane City Council operates a fleet of 19 CityCats and nine CityFerries. You can discover great trips on the CityCats with the CityCat journey videos.
CityCat and CityFerry services after the flood
Brisbane's CityCat and ferry network is now fully restored following the January 2011 flood with all 24 terminals operating seven days a week.
The final two flood-damaged ferry terminals - West End and Maritime Museum, formerly known as River Plaza - reopened on 1 August 2011.
Terminal construction
A new CityCat terminal at Teneriffe has been constructed and will be completed in January this year. However, planned upgrades at Bulimba, Hawthorne and Bretts Wharf will be delayed.
Brisbane's newest CityCat terminal opened at Northshore Hamilton on 2 October 2011.
19th CityCat
The 19th CityCat, named Spirit of Brisbane, was launched on 4 October 2011. Dedicated to Brisbane's community spirit during one of its toughest periods, the Spirit of Brisbane is decorated in distinctive colours, blue for the sky and river; green for new growth after the floods; maroon for the Queensland spirit and yellow in recognition of the way the sun shone through the clouds to help dry up the flood waters. Inside the Spirit of Brisbane there is also a permanent display of photographs taken during the flood clean-up.
Spirit of Brisbane has improved fuel efficiency and reduced engine exhaust and noise emissions. This means a smaller carbon footprint which Council offsets fully.
Staying connected
The entire CityCat fleet is fitted with WiFi allowing access to UQConnect and EduRoam, TransLink timetable information and Brisbane City Council's website.
