Getting around Brisbane
Brisbane's excellent transport infrastructure makes it relatively easy to get from point A to point Z and virtually anywhere in between with minimal interruptions or changes.
Buses, trains, CityCat Ferries, hire cars, taxis, and even water taxis are all available at regular intervals throughout the day and night and there's little chance of you being stuck in the middle of nowhere and no way to get home.
Perhaps the one area where Brisbane's transport system lets the city down is getting to and from the airport at night — express trains run throughout the day, but after 7.30pm the domestic and international railway stations shut down, leaving it to public and airport transfer companies (and of course taxis and limousines) to pick up the slack.
