Terminal construction
Plans to upgrade the West End terminal have been fast-tracked to allow the terminal to be rebuilt as soon as possible.
New CityCat terminals at Teneriffe and Northshore Hamilton will proceed, while planned upgrades at Bulimba, Hawthorne and Bretts Wharf will be delayed.
Council has commenced repairs of the River Plaza terminal. A temporary terminal is expected to open on 31 July 2011, weather permitting.
For all public transport and timetable information, visit the TransLink website or phone 13 12 30.
17th CityCat
The 17th CityCat, named Walan, was launched on 17 December 2010. Walan is named after the Aboriginal term for the place now commonly known as Herston.
Walan has improved fuel efficiency and reduced engine exhaust and noise emissions. This means a smaller carbon footprint which Council offsets fully.
Staying connected
The entire CityCat fleet is fitted with WiFi allowing access to UQConnect and EduRoam, TransLink timetable information and Brisbane City Council's website.
