- buses across the entire network
- trains in South East Queensland

You can travel on any of our services using your go card. If you don't have a go card, paper tickets are valid for travel on most buses, and all train, ferry and tram services.
Our busways offer fast congestion-free 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 for you 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's destination board.
