CityCat, SpeedyCat and ferry services

The CityHopper service allows you to rediscover Brisbane for free with ferries running every 36 minutes between 6am and midnight, seven days a week.

CityCat, SpeedyCat, CityHopper and Cross River CityFerry terminals are located along the Brisbane River between UQ St Lucia and Northshore Hamilton. Check the map to find your nearest terminal.

A double-decker CityCat called 'Yoogera' joined Council's existing fleet of CityCats in November 2019.

In September 2018, Council commenced SpeedyCats to provide more than 100 peak-hour express CityCat services along the Brisbane River each week (excluding weekends and public holidays).

Council is committed to providing safe, efficient and accessible transport networks across the city. Council’s ferry terminal upgrades program aims to ensure all future upgrades and delivery of new public transport assets, where possible, meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT) and the Disability Standards 2010 (Premises Standards). 

Hire a Council CityCat for your special occasion. The vessels cover the Brisbane area from The University of Queensland at St Lucia to Northshore Hamilton.
