The Queensland Rail system in Brisbane travels west as far as Rosewood or Ferny Grove, North as far as Caboolture, East to Eagle Farm and Doomben (or punters!) and South to the Gold Coast. A special service AirTrain, also travels to Brisbane Airport - both domestic and international terminals.
This is an efficient and comfortable rail system, with multiple stops, and some express routes, if you are travelling beyond the city. Theme: Train

 Air Train by thedouglas
Train stops at Central Station and Roma Street Station - but has the disadvantages of having to carry or manage your own luggage, if you travel heavy! Theme: Train

 Roma street station by balhannah
The Sunlander departs for Cairns three mornings a week. This train is slower than the Tilt Train, but cheaper.
The Westlander departs Tuesday & Thursday evenings for Toowoomba, Roma & Charleville.
Departing from Roma Street are trains to Nerang on the Gold Coast.
The Spirit of the Outback departs twice a week for Longreach. It runs through Rockhampton, Emerald & Barcaldine.
This is where you catch the train to Sydney, it departs early morning and arrives in the evening in Sydney.
A train also goes to Townsville.
At different times of the year, Steam train rides are held and these depart from here.
As well as the long distance trains, it also services the local suburban routes.

 Roma Street Station by ASTIEL
No more buying tickets every time you change modes of trnsport, all you gotta do is tell the dude that runs the ticket machine your final destination and your set to go!!
TransLink now provides one single public transport network covering south-east Queensland from Gympie North/Noosa to Coolangatta and west to Helidon.
Just one TransLink ticket will take you wherever you want to go on buses, trains and ferries within the new system. Zones, fares and concessions will be standardised across the system, providing one set of rules for everyone.
TransLink is working together with the Queensland government, Brisbane City Council (BCC), QR (Queensland Rail) and private operators to improve the integration of services - making it easier for you to get to where you want to go. Leave a Comment

 Tilt Train in action... by Tripack
If you're planning to head to the North, take the Tilt Train till Rockhampton or Cairns, this trip will be faster and more comfortable than a bus journey. The price is very competitve for the high level of service.
If you have a student card ISIC, you could get an half price ticket -> great value.
I was impressed by the quality of service and features of this express train, with aboard meals, music, confortable seat, enough room for legs, clean, quiet, TV with live view from the loco,...
In one word all you couldn't get in a bus... and you will arrive in better shape.
Highly recommended, I like it as much as my Swiss trains...
Brisbane - Rockhampton (one way)
Duration journey by Tilt train= 8h45
Duration journey by bus = 12h
Indicative price Tilt train = AU$ 97.90 adult / AU$ 49.50 student
Indicative price by bus = AU$ 98 adult / AU$ 86 student/backpacker Leave a Comment

Most of the city can be explored on foot, we hired a rental car to explore further afield (Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast). The day we flew home we hired a locker at the airport for our luggage before returning the car, spent the day in the city, then took the Air train to the Airport from the city .

There's an international and domestic airport in brisbane... and there's now an air-train link, so you can save on the taxi fare and just hop on the train which will take you straight to 'central' station... which is the heart of brisbane. There is also a transit centre at 'Roma Street Station'. From here you can go basiscally anywhere by bus or train!
Brisbane has a pretty good public transport system. Except the prices always seem to be on the up. Still it's cheaper than many other places in the world. Travelling within Brisbane you've got three options, bus, train and ferry. You can see which is most suitable for you by going to the info-centre which is on the queen street mall... here you can get time tables for the bus and ferry. Timetables for the train lines are at the train stations. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Brisbane is about 15km from the airport. A Taxi in peak hour cost me $30 so I would recommend the new train service unless there are more than two of you travelling together.
The AirTrain operates from both the Domestic and International terminals. It cost $9 one way and takes you right into the centre of town. The trip takes about 20 mins. You can also take this train right down to the Gold Coast for $20 or so.
The bus and train systems seemed easy enough to use and one day unlimited travel tickets are available.
The rivercats and ferries are a great way to explore further afield and are included in the all day ticket price Leave a Comment Theme: Train
