Brisbane has a large transportation network connecting it to regional hubs, interstate, and international locations. As in many Australian cities, the most common means of transportation in Brisbane is a private vehicle. Travel by public transportation comprises rail, bus, and ferry services. TransLink serves South East Queensland with a uniform ticketing and electronic payment system (known as a 'go card').
The CBD is a hub for all public transportation services, focusing on the Roma Street, Central, and Fortitude Valley railway stations. There are ferry wharves at King George Square, Queen Street, Roma Street bus terminals, North Quay, Riverside, and QUT Gardens Point. The transport links in Brisbane City connect swiftly to all of the major student properties in Brisbane. Mostly, all those transit options are easily accessible as they lie close to the Federation University accommodation for international students.
1. Bus
Brisbane has a large dedicated bus rapid transit network called the Brisbane Busway. The busway stations on King George Square, Queen Street, and Roma Street are major network centres. The average adult fare is AU$4.80, up to AU$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 AU$90 and AU$170.
3. Bicycle
Nothing beats exploring a city on a bike. Several locals indulge in this activity. One can buy or rent a bicycle, stroll around town for small commutes, run errands, or ride. Taxis are a good option for commuting, but taking public transport will be convenient and reasonable.
