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 (including SpeedyCats) and CityFerry network. Find information about buses, Brisbane Metro, CityCats, CityFerries, Council Cab and other transport services.

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

Personalised public transport (PPT) operates in areas where TransLinkservices are restricted.

The Council Cab service organises shared taxis at scheduled times for residents who find it difficult to get to their local shops.

In 2031, Brisbane will be an accessible city for everyone. Residents, workers, students, visitors and business people will be able to move easily throughout the city.

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