Brisbane Metro
Brisbane City Council is delivering the turn-up-and-go Brisbane Metro — a new era of connected travel.
Brisbane Metro is a high-capacity high-frequency public transport system that will link the city to the suburbs, making it easier to connect with the people and places you love. The all new metros will operate along dedicated busways to connect 18 stations from Eight Mile Plains to Roma Street, and Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital to University of Queensland.
Metro services will integrate seamlessly into busway operations as part of Brisbane's New Bus Network, a proposed network that includes changes to the inner city and south-eastern corridor to help facilitate the introduction of metro services.
This city-shaping project is fully funded in partnership with the Australian Government and will transform our city's public transport network. The electric, high-capacity metros will provide more travel options with easy links to bus and train services, building new and improved infrastructure and using the best technology to suit our river city.
Brisbane Metro services will commence in late 2024, subject to approvals.
Brisbane Metro launching early
Brisbane City Council is launching Brisbane Metro early by replacing the 169 buses from Eight Mile Plains to UQ Lakes with metros in October this year. The early introduction of metros will give customers the opportunity to experience the electric, high-capacity metro vehicles ahead of the M1 and M2 services.
Passenger and timetable information will be made available closer to October.
Metro depot community open day
To celebrate the Rochedale metro depot being open and ready to support metro operations, we're inviting Brisbane residents to a Community Open Day on Sunday 13 October from 10am to 2pm.
Explore one of Australia's most technologically advanced depots and be one of the first to experience the future of public transport, and enjoy live entertainment, kids' activities and food.
The event will be held at the Rochedale metro depot and Council will be providing a free local shuttle service from a nearby location. There is no public parking available at the depot. More details will be provided closer to the event. Find event details.
