Public transport

Brisbane City Council is busy delivering Australia's most modern public and active transport, including the Brisbane Metro. We operate one of the largest bus fleets in Australia, along with the iconic CityCat and Cross River ferry network. Find information about buses, Brisbane Metro, CityCats, ferries, Council Cab and other transport services.

Council is getting you home quicker and safer by providing free off-peak travel for seniors, creating more opportunities for older residents to move around the city and connect with family and friends.

Council operates 23 CityCats and five KittyCats along a network of 23 terminals from
UQ St Lucia to Northshore Hamilton. Express CityCats provide 145 peak-hour express services each week (excluding weekends and public holidays). 

Brisbane Metro is a key part of Council's plan to get you home quicker and safer, with more travel options, less congestion and better public transport.

By rethinking travel behaviours and taking active school travel options, we can all play a part in reducing traffic around schools.

Council's commemorative CityCat and bus designs aim to increase community pride, acknowledge success stories in our city and commemorate historic events.

Council is undertaking research in the western Pullenvale Ward suburbs of Moggill, Anstead, Bellbowrie, Karana Downs, Mount Crosby, Pullenvale and Pinjarra Hills to understand the community's expectations and views about using public transport.
