Our busways offer fast congestion-free travel on dedicated roadways. We also have a number of special services:
- Pre-paid services: Some bus routes around Brisbane offer a pre-paid service. Most of the pre-paid services only operate in peak times.
Paper tickets cannot be bought on pre-paid services, but they can be used to travel on these services.
For passengers without a valid ticket, there will be at least one alternative bus to travel on.
You can identify peak time pre-paid buses by the letter 'P', in front of the route number, on the bus's destination board. - Blue CityGlider and Maroon CityGlider: CityGlider is a pre-paid bus service that operates as a high frequency service throughout the day. These services do not have a 'P' on the bus destination board.
- StationLink: StationLink - or route 109 - is a temporary high frequency service running between Rocklea train station and the PA Hospital busway station, to help disrupted passengers continue to travel during Cross River Rail's major station accessibility upgrades.
- High frequency services: We operate high frequency services on trams and some bus routes and train lines. Our high frequency services run every 15 minutes or better.
- Nightlink services: Bus and train services operating between midnight and 5am on Friday and Saturday nights.
- Community services: Free and low-cost transport options are available to help people with a disability travel to and from appointments and various activities.
- FlexiLink: A maxi cab service operating in Ipswich and surrounding suburbs. Passengers are picked from their home and driven to any location within the service area.
