Brisbane has a large transportation network that connects it to regional hubs, interstate, and international locations. Private vehicles are the most popular mode of transportation in Sydney, as they are in many other Australian cities. Public transportation includes boat, bus, and train services. With a standardised ticketing and electronic payment system (known as a "go card"), TransLink provides service to South East Queensland. The Roma Street, Central, and Fortitude Valley train stations, as well as all other forms of public transit, are concentrated in the CBD. King George Square, Queen Street, Roma Street bus terminals, North Quay, Riverside, and QUT Gardens Point all have boat wharves. All of Brisbane's major student housing complexes are quickly accessible via the transportation systems near East Brisbane accommodation.
1. Bus: Brisbane has a large dedicated bus rapid transit network known as the Brisbane Busway network. The busway stations on King George Square, Queen Street, and Roma Street are major network centres. The average adult fare is $4.80, going up to $8.00 as distance rises.
2. Rail: The Queensland Rail City network has 152 railway stations located along 13 suburban rail lines and throughout the metropolitan area, including the Airport Line, Beenleigh Line, Caboolture Line, Cleveland Line, Doomben Line, Exhibition Line, and so on. A day of rail travel will cost you between $90 and $170.
3. Cycling: Another widely used transportation system in the city is the bicycle, which is also considered the healthiest ride as well.
4. Taxi: Apart from this, students can also take a taxi to travel to different places in the city. However, this option can be a little expensive considering that the traffic in the city can be a little too much on the weekdays and weekends as well.
