One of our main goals is to improve your public transport experience. To do this, we're upgrading the network, building new infrastructure and changing the way we operate.
Infrastructure project map
We're constantly improving our network to make it easier for you to use public transport.
Use our interactive map to discover the public transport infrastructure improvement projects currently underway across our network. This includes updates to existing infrastructure and completely new projects.
Projects will remain on the map for up to 12 months after completion.
Visit the Department of Transport and Main Roads website for projects outside our network.
Other current projects
When the Brisbane Metro starts, it will run high-frequency services from Eight Mile Plains to Brisbane City. To make the most of the new service, we’re proposing changes to routes P569, 545, 554, 565, 566, 570, 571, 576, 577, 578 and 579.
Our proposed changes improve Logan bus services by freeing up some of the buses that will duplicate the new Brisbane Metro and using them to improve the frequency or timing for other routes.
Consultation is now closed, we asked for your feedback about the proposed changes from 22 July until 18 August 2024.
Visit the Department of Transport and Main Roads consultation portal for more information.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will transform the way Queenslanders with disability are supported and change the way disability services are funded and delivered.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads will continue to deliver services and programs to all of our clients and members while the NDIS is introduced in Queensland.
The NDIS will result in changes to the administration of some of the department's programs for people with disability who become NDIS participants.
The Public Transport Fares Advisory Panel (the Panel) was established as a recommendation of the South East Queensland Fare Review Taskforce.
The Panel will provide independent expert advice to help inform government decisions on future public transport fares, products, and ticketing.
Panel members were selected based on their expertise and to include a broad range of knowledge, including specialist transport knowledge, community insights, regional perspectives and industry experience.
Panel members have been appointed for a period of 12 months and are expected to meet twice a year. Additional meetings are possible if directed by the Minister. Translink Division of TMR will perform the role of Secretariat for the Panel.

The new network proposes to:
- introduce two new Brisbane Metro lines, unlocking capacity to get more people to where they want to go, at the times they want to travel.
- reduce bottlenecks and congestion by better utilising our busways and simplifying where services enter and exit Brisbane City, to deliver greater service reliability.
- increase connections with other public transport modes, including Cross River Rail, to create more interchange opportunities and travel options.
More information about Brisbane's new bus network is available on Council's website.
Community consultation
During 2022, Council invited community feedback through a two-phase engagement program.
- Phase 1: Initial city-wide online survey to seek early feedback on current travel preferences and experiences (July-October 2022).
- Phase 2: Community consultation where we invited you to have your say on the proposed network changes (October-December 2022).
Following consultation, Council reviewed and summarised all feedback. This has informed a community consultation report, which outlines the consultation process, key feedback themes, online survey results and next steps for the network.

Accessibility projects
Small blue metal plates, featuring Braille, tactile and QR code bus stop numbers, have been added to select inner-city bus stops and bus stations.
The plates are fixed to the sides of the blade style bus stops and display the bus stop number in Braille, to assist customers with vision impairment identify the stop. Above the Braille the stop number is also displayed in white high contrast tactile text and below the braille the same information is available through use of a QR code.
The new Braille, tactile and QR code stop numbers have been introduced to assist customers with vision impairment identify bus stops where there are a high number of stops in proximity. This has mainly occurred in inner city areas and large bus stations. In 2020-21, we're looking at extending Braille, tactile and QR codes at bus stops further outside inner city locations, including some regional areas.
