KittyCat services

Upcoming service changes

CityHopper and Cross River services will change from 28 January 2025. Services will be reconfigured into three new Cross River routes that will operate every 15 minutes using the KittyCat ferries:

- Dockside – Sydney Street
- Holman Street – Riverside
- Maritime Museum – QUT Gardens Point.

The Bulimba – Teneriffe Cross River service will also be operated by a KittyCat ferry rather than a CityCat ferry.

The Cross River ferry service connects Holman Street at Kangaroo Point, Riverside and Howard Smith Wharves, and Bulimba to Teneriffe. 

Brisbane City Council's CityHopper is a dedicated inner-city ferry service on the Brisbane River. You can hop on and off the CityHopper at eight stops between North Quay and Sydney Street, New Farm. The service runs every 36 minutes between 5.30am and midnight, Sunday to Thursday, with services operating later Friday and Saturday nights. 

Brisbane’s popular cross-river travel includes five ‘KittyCats’. The catamarans transport up to 60 passengers on each vessel and provide services to major areas in the inner-city.
