Travelling by train

Travelling by Brisbane ferry

The Sunshine Coast’s extensive bus network can take you almost anywhere you need to go, day and night. When travelling by bus:

» Wait at the bus stop or lead stop at major stations where the driver can see you and raise your hand to signal the driver to stop.

» Stand back from the kerb and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before boarding.

» Do not ride in the cab area or speak to the driver while the bus is moving.

A favourite among the locals, ferries are an enjoyable and easy way to get around and see the sights of Brisbane. When travelling by ferry:

» Line up along the ferry terminal walkway to the left.

» Give way to exiting passengers.

» Wait for the ferry operator to signal that it is safe to board.

See everything Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and west of Brisbane has to offer by train. When travelling by train:

» Stand well behind the yellow line when a train approaches the platform.

» Mind the gap between the platform and the train.

» Move down the carriage so as not to obstruct doorways.
