Buses

Brisbane is growing and so is our bus network. Council is evolving our network by modernising our current network and integrating high-frequency turn-up-and-go services. Our new network will be flexible and future-ready.

The free City Loop, Spring Hill Loop and South Brisbane Loop bus services provide high frequency public transport access within the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD). Services also run between the CBD and Spring Hill areas and through South Brisbane and West End. 

The CityGlider buses provide fast transport from West End to Teneriffe and from Ashgrove to Stones Corner, with regular services during peak and off-peak times.

Council’s bus depots ensure efficient operation of its bus fleet and include on-site maintenance, cleaning and refuelling, scheduling and rostering and driver amenities.

Council has proudly operated the city’s buses for more than 90 years. Starting with just 11 buses to our current fleet of more than 1200 buses, we are proud of our bus history.

A network of 'no timetable needed' high frequency buses known as BUZ services run daily between 6am and 11.30pm. 

Council's low-floor buses allow easy access for all passengers. Find out about low-floor bus features, as well as the Bus Stop Accessibility Improvement Program and the visually impaired passenger telephone service.

Council is committed to the safety of all passengers while travelling on the bus network. To ensure a safe and comfortable journey, follow some simple safety tips. This section includes advice on bus evacuation in an emergency.

Bruce the Brissie Bus is an Active School Travel initiative, designed to encourage young people to appreciate the use of public transport as a means of getting to school.

Council has undertaken research in the Centenary suburbs to understand the community's experiences and views using public transport, specifically bus services within Seventeen Mile Rocks, Sinnamon Park, Jindalee, Mount Ommaney, Jamboree Heights, Riverhills, Middle Park, Sumner, Westlake and Darra.
