Our evolved bus network better connects you to the people, places and activities you love.
Council launched a new bus network in mid-2025 alongside a new Brisbane Metro route — M1 from Eight Mile Plains to Roma Street.
The new network and metro services has improved reliability and increased capacity to get you where you need to go, sooner and safer.
By linking local buses with turn-up-and-go metro services, we’re providing more services, more often.
The new network has been purpose-built for our river city and informed by extensive customer data and community consultation feedback. The introduction of Brisbane Metro, complimented by the new network, provides our city with more high-capacity, high-frequency travel options.
This means:
Since the new network launched on Monday 30 June 2025:
In Brisbane, buses do the heavy lifting, carrying two-thirds of public transport customers. As our city continues to grow, we need to invest in smart solutions to keep Brisbane moving.
The new bus network officially started on Monday 30 June 2025. We've streamlined services and introduced Brisbane Metro to improve reliability to get you where you need to go at the times you want to travel.
To meet the transport demands of our growing population, Council in partnership with Translink completed a detailed review of the bus network and developed a new network purpose-built for our city.
You shared your feedback on the proposed network changes as part of city-wide community consultation in 2022. We received over 5,000 pieces of feedback, and further refined the bus network based on that feedback.
For more information on the development of the new bus network, you can download the Brisbane's New Bus Network guide below.
The first stage of the new network has simplified the south-east and inner-city bus corridors and provided more turn-up-and-go high-frequency busway and metro services for our city.
Our reshaped network paves the way for further network growth and lays the foundation for future stages in the northern, western, and eastern corridors.
