Getting About - Transport in Brisbane

Brisbane Transport

In a sprawling city like Brisbane, transport is an important issue. A family car is considered a necessity by most. Many Brisbane people commute to work or study by car or public transport.

Public transport includes suburban electric trains, Brisbane City Council buses and private coach companies. Traffic congestion and the difficulties of parking in the city during business hours make public transport an attractive option for commuters.

Private road transport is available from taxi cab and shuttle services. If you prefer to drive yourself, check out the car and caravan hire companies, or the vehicles page in the BCL Business Directory.

International and interstate flights come into the Brisbane International Airport. Archerfield Aerodrome to the south and Caboolture to the north cater to small charter and private flights.

Ferries and BCC Citycats provide transport on the Brisbane River from Newstead up to the University of Queensland. Ferry and charter cruises are available on the river and to the Moreton Bay islands.

Cycling is becoming more and more popular with the extensive bikeway network constructed over the past few years.
