[8] Brisbane City Council shut down bus services due to financial loss in November 1927.

[7] The first Rocket services began on the morning of 18 April 1977 between Garden City and the Brisbane CBD.

In the 1990s, Brisbane City Council corporatised its transport services to form Brisbane Transport, a council-owned commercial businesses managed at arm's length from the council and providing consultancy services back to it.

[14] Bus stops serviced by the CityGlider are identified with signs and painted kerb.

Services also run between the CBD and Spring Hill areas and through South Brisbane and West End.

It has decreased the journey time between Eight Mile Plains and Chermside, removing the need to transfer at Cultural Centre.

In October 2020, the last Scania L94UB, the first CNG and low floor bus was retired after 20 years of service.

This has led the Brisbane City Council to retire all gas powered buses by 2027.

[17] Four Yutong E12 battery electric buses will operate on trial with Brisbane Transport, starting from June 2021 on the City Loop free services.

[17] Starting from 22 May 2023, two new battery powered Volvo BZLs have been introduced to The Spring Hill Loop Route 30.

Articulated buses currently used by Transport for Brisbane are 30 CNG-powered MAN NG313s (Fleet numbers 1601 to 1630), delivered from 2007 to 2008, 20 diesel-powered Volvo B8RLEAs (Fleet numbers 1631 to 1650), delivered in 2018, and 60 electric bi-articulated HESS lighTram 25s for Brisbane Metro were ordered in 2022 with the first one already operating in 2024.

The driver, 29 year old Manmeet Sharma, was killed in his seat while all of the passengers were safely evacuated with some receiving minor injuries.

[28] On 8 March 2024, a MAN 18.310, G1273, experienced loss of control on Edward Street in Brisbane CBD, causing it to veer off the road and onto the adjoining footpath before coming to rest against the exterior of the ANZAC Square Arcade building.
