What is the best way to get around Brisbane? How do I get to The University of Queensland (UQ) from my accommodation?

The easiest and cheapest way of getting around Brisbane is to use the public transport system. To access the public transport system, you can use a go card or credit card. All public transport in Brisbane City (including trains, buses and ferries) is a set price of only 50c. Please note that cash is not accepted and 50c fares do not apply to the Airtrain. Go cards can be used on buses, trains, ferries and the Airtrain, which connects the airport to the city. To plan your route, you can use Google Maps or the Translink Journey Planner. Common public transport routes heading towards UQ from the city include the 412 and M2 buses. For more information about getting to UQ, click here.
