Bus transport in Queensland

[1] Translink also oversees Queensland Rail suburban trains and RiverCity Ferries on the Brisbane River to enable an integrated public transport system for the region.

QConnect coordinates the urban, and some school, bus services of 17 providers in large regional towns such as Warwick or Cairns.

The subsidisation of regional bus fares by the state government makes it more financially affordable for residents of rural communities to travel by bus, which would otherwise be cost-prohibitive for many commuters given the extremely large distances between some Queensland towns.

[3] The remaining school bus runs not falling under qconnect jurisdiction in regional or rural Queensland are managed directly by the department and delivered by over 700 local providers.

These bus stop types include regular, intermediate, premium and signature.

[9] 'Signature' bus stops are located on busways, interchanges and streets in Brisbane CBD.
