Different forms of public transport in Australia

If you think that buses and taxis are the only public ways to get around, you are wrong.

Studying abroad is a great opportunity to experience different cultures and meet lots of diverse people. Moreover, public transportation plays an important role in your daily life.

If you are studying in Australia, public transportation is the easiest way to commute.

And if you are in Brisbane, you can find the signature transportation mode of Queensland, which is CityCat Ferries.

Unique transportation

CityCat has become the main means of public transportation for those who live near the Brisbane River. By commuting by ferry, you not only experience nice views of Brisbane but also the exact timetable of CityCat, which makes your life easier.

Furthermore, during rush hours, the ferry service also allows passengers to avoid traffic jams on the roads. So travelling by CityCat is easier and more comfortable.

There is Wi-Fi onboard to connect, which also allows University of Queensland students to connect to UQConnect and EduRoam, the university's online services.

And the coolest thing about CityCat service is the chance to sit in the front or back of the ferry. Passengers can experience the cool city breeze and the beautiful city landscape at night, which becomes a mesmerising image of glittering light.

As you ride the CityCat, you'll realise why Brisbane is known as "the River City," with the river meandering past famous landmarks like the West End, South Bank, and Eagle Street Pier.

Basically, the Brisbane River gives life to a city that is built around the river and embraces modernity. It connects inner-city areas and makes a beautiful setting for dining at a variety of restaurants and outdoor attractions.

From Milton to Dockside, Bulimba to North shore, every stop is a gateway to a new world.
