Getting Around
Navigating Brisbane is easy, with a variety of transportation options available for APAX delegates.
Whether you prefer to take public transport, ride-share, or explore on two wheels, here’s everything you need to know about getting around Brisbane during your stay.
BRISBANE precinct map
For our delegate ease we have created a handy Brisbane precinct map.
Access the map for key directions, local hotspots, show venues and more.
Getting to and from BRISBANE AIRPORT
The Airtrain is a quick and easy option for getting to and from the airport. Travelling between the Brisbane Airport and Brisbane City takes just 20 minutes and trains run every 15 to 20 minutes.
You can pre-book online for a discount, purchase a paper ticket, use a Go card, or contactless payment with Visa or Mastercard.
Con-x-ion runs a door-to-door shuttle bus between Brisbane Airport and dozens of locations around Brisbane.
Taxis and rideshare are also available, and a trip from the Airport to the city takes between 20 to 30 minutes.
Getting Around Brisbane
Public Transport
Translink operates a network of buses, trains, ferries (CityCat and KittyCat) and trams across the city.
Most vehicles are accessible with allocated spaces for people who use wheelchair and mobility scooters.
Guide, hearing and assistance dogs are allowed on buses, trains and ferries. When travelling with your dog, make sure you have your handler’s identity card available.
You may wish to purchase a go card (your transit card to access Brisbane). Go cards are $10 plus any additional credit you put on your card.
E-Scooters and E-Bikes
E-Bike and E-Scooters are available for hire throughout the city. Download the app to access these devices to your phone and pick up an E-Bike or E-Scooters from an E-Mobility hub or virtual parking zone. Don’t forget that helmets are mandatory!
Driving and Parking
Car rental services are available at Brisbane Airport and throughout the city.
Street parking in the Brisbane central traffic area (which includes the CBD, Southbank, West End and Fortitude Valley) has a 2-hour parking limit from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, and 7am to midday on Saturdays (unless there are signs stating otherwise).
There are paid parking stations in walking distance to APAX venues in Southbank and South Brisbane:
