WE'RE HERE FOR YOU
Our services operate every day of the year, providing the people of Brisbane an affordable and reliable way to get around. Our CityCats cruise up and down the river between UQ St Lucia and Northshore Hamilton at a top speed of 25 knots whilst our smaller Cross River CityFerries and CityHopper services cruise at a more leisurely pace of around 10 knots.
Beat the city traffic and experience Brisbane from the water. The Brisbane River connects to a wealth of recreational, environmental, cultural and dining experiences.
To purchase your fare, simply use your go card or Smart Ticketing for adult fares. Smart Ticketing allows you to use your contactless Visa, Mastercard, or American Express debit or credit card, including those linked to the digital wallet on your smartphone, smartwatch, or smart device.
Please ensure each customer presents one card or device and taps on and off with the same card or device.
Fares are automatically calculated based on the number of zones you travel through during your journey and are deducted from your go card balance or digital wallet upon touching off at the end of your trip.
All Brisbane ferry services operate exclusively within Zone 1.
For more information about zones, go cards, Smart Ticketing, single paper tickets, concessions, or special access passes, visit www.translink.com.au or call 13 12 30.
