The network, operated under contract to the Brisbane City Council, formed part of the Translink integrated public transport scheme.

In August 1991, River Connections took over the operation of Brisbane City Council's fleet of Cityferries.

[13] In order to revitalise patronage on the inner city ferry route, the council converted it into a free service targeted at tourists in 2012.

[14] As part of this change, three of the existing fleet of ferries were painted red to be dedicated to the route, named CityHopper.

[16] All CityHopper and CityFerry services were suspended 25 July 2020, due to safety concerns over the ageing fleet.

[23] Cross River services were suspended in July 2020 due to deterioration in the hulls of the ferries.

[24] As at December 2018, Transdev Brisbane Ferries's fleet consisted of 22 CityCats, 3 CityHoppers and 6 CityFerries.

[25] The fleet has grown in size to cater for the significant increase in patronage on CityCat ferry services (by 88% in the last six years).

[26] Apart from the support vessels, the fleet is owned by Brisbane City Council and operated by Transdev.

They have a capacity of 170 passengers, including 20 on an open upper deck, plus more space for wheelchairs and bicycles than earlier generations.

These are powered by 134 kW (180 hp) Scania engines, have a maximum speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph) and are operated by a crew of one.

These are powered by 86 kW (115 hp) Perkins engines, have a maximum speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) and are operated by a crew of one.
