Buses

All bus stops are marked with a distinctive red sign with those on the inner-city routes running from 6am to 11pm. All buses clearly display their route numbers and destinations and while most drivers carry notes, it is advisable to pay in coins as they might not have enough change to give you. There are express buses in Brisbane so be aware of this as they may not stop at all stops on the route. Some buses only accept pre-purchased tickets or go cards – a ‘P’ sign whould be visable before the route number on the front display.

Metro

Trains run usually from 6am to midnight though they sometimes run later on Friday and Saturday nights and finish up earlier on Sundays – always check daily timetables. Most train routes go from the end of one suburb to the other but all train routes pass through Roma St, Central, Fortitude Valley and Bowen Hills regardless of their destinations. Trains can run every 10min during peak hours (7am – 9:30am, 3pm to 6pm) but then half-hourly at other times and once an hour on weekends. There are train services to the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast but you should check the website for timetables as these are interuban train with conecting buses.
