    Gold Coast bus services run 24 hours a day and can get you to at least the main street of most suburbs and shopping centres. Services throughout the Gold Coast and Tweed are operated by Surfside Buslines which offer a 24 hour service along the highway. Look for the stops at 300 metre intervals. Timetables are available through the Surfside Buslines website. To catch the bus you need to wait at a bus stop and hail the bus as it approaches you. You need to have the cash fare, ticket and your concession card ready as you board. Express buses to the theme parks are also available from Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Southport to Runaway Bay. Connections to Queensland Rail services are made at Robina Station, Nerang Station and Helensvale Station.

  • During my stay, I found the public transport in Surfers to be pretty good. Buses come very frequently, and it is one of the easiest ways to get somewhere in the area! I found that not many had wheelchair access (therefore making life pretty difficult with balancing a pram, a kid, and ten million shopping bags) but as I have mentioned earlier, the Gold Coasters are such a friendly mob that I was never short of somebody offering me a hand. In fact, on one occasion I hadn't even started attempting to board the bus when a young lad of about 15-16 hopped out and helped us on. Just when I thought good manners had died, people like him lift my spirits.

    By Air : The Domestic airport is at Coolangatta, at the southern end of the Gold Coast and services flights from major Australian cities and regional centres. International flights arrive at Brisbane Airport and there is a coach transfer or taxi's that will take you to your Gold Coast accommodation. By Rail : A suburban rail service runs from downtown Brisbane through Helensvale and Beenleigh to the Gold Coast. You can then catch a coach from the Roma St Transit Centre in Brisbane to the Gold Coast. There is a direct overnight train from Sydney to Murwillumbah and then you can catch a coach to any major centre on the Gold Coast. Daily interstate coach services arrive and depart from the Surfers Paradise Bus Station By Bus : If you are not driving yourself, there are buses which operate a 24 hr service along the highway. There is a surfside bus which runs Monday to Saturday from 6.00am – 7.00pm. Monorail runs from The Oasis Shopping Centre to The Casino at Broadbeach. Pedicab : This service is fairly inexpensive and operates mainly around Surfers.

  • The gold coast airport acually is in NSW, but that can be overlooked, you can also take the bus or train there. Take the bus, they go very frequently, or if you are staying close to the centre, just walk.

    Public Transport on the Gold Coast is probably the worst in the country. Although the coast now has three different train stations - they are at least 20 mins drive from the main Gold Coast Highway (along the beach). You will find the easiest way to get around is by bus, but the don't go that regularly. This is one thing the Gold Coast needs to work on! Website: http://www.surfside.com.au/ Includes daily timetable Website: http://www.transinfo.qld.gov.au To get prices / timetables on trains around Gold Coast, from the Gold Coast to Brisbane and from Gold Coast to Brisbane Aiports (both Domestic and International)

  • You can catch a train from Brisbane Roma Street Station to Robina, and transfer from there by bus to Surfer's Paradise, where the heart of the Coast is.

    We arrived by airplane at Brisbane Airport and were swiftly transferred to a coach service that took us right to the door of our accommodation in Gold Coast. . Bus: Surfside Buslines provides excellent services from most points on Gold Coast. . Taxis: Taxis are relatively affordable and will take you wherever you want to go.
