Brisbane City Council is delivering the turn-up-and-go Brisbane Metro — a new way to move.

Brisbane Metro is a high-capacity, high-frequency public bus rapid transit system that will link the city to the suburbs, getting you where you need to go at the times you want to travel. Metro services will integrate seamlessly into busway operations as part of a now-finalised Brisbane's New Bus Network, which primarily includes changes to the inner city and south-eastern corridor.

This city-shaping project is fully funded in partnership with the Australian Government and will provide more travel options to help keep Brisbane moving.

The first stage of metro services will commence on 28 January 2025.
