Tips for travelling around Brisbane

Getting around Brisbane is done mostly by way of bus, train or ferry, or a combination of the three.  Once you know the location of your accommodation and your destination, you can find out about journeying in the greater Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast region by planning your trip with the Translink journey planner.  Visit http://www.translink.com.au/

1. go Card

The go Card will be the most cost effective ticket system for travellers in Brisbane.  A go card can be purchased from most newsagencies and is a touch on/touch off system on board any of the 3 types of public transport in Brisbane, cityCat, bus and train. In general one can expect to save 30% by using a go card than buying individual tickets.

2. Airtrain

The Airtrain operates from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm from the Airport to Brisbane Central and from 5:20 am to 7:20 pm from Brisbane Central to the Airport.  Tickets are $14.50 one way and a further 10% discount is available if ordered online.
