Your buses
Brisbane City Council has proudly operated the city’s buses for more than 90 years. Since 1925, Council’s ongoing contribution to public transport in Brisbane has allowed the bus service to grow and evolve for the benefit of our residents and visitors. Starting with just 11 buses to our current fleet of more than 1200 buses, which are still built in Brisbane, we are proud of our bus history.
Council’s commitment to delivering public transport services for the people of Brisbane ensures our fleet is 100% air conditioned and accessible, providing comfort and easy access for all passengers. Connecting people with places and offering sustainable travel choices and creating a well-connected city are all part of Council’s vision for an accessible, connected city.
