CityGlider bus services

The CityGlider buses provide high-frequency transport from West End to Teneriffe (Blue) and Ashgrove to Coorparoo (Maroon).

After running for almost a decade, the iconic blue CityGliders had a makeover. From 12 July 2021, new articulated buses with increased capacity, were added to this popular route. The new buses feature USB chargers and the distinctive blue CityGlider design that provides better visibility for customers.

  • busway and rail connections
