2025 is going to be another exciting year for Brisbane. We’ll kick-off the staged roll-out of turn-up-and-go Brisbane Metro services from 28 January. We'll deliver a big boost to our bus network to keep Brisbane moving. We’ll complete major congestion-busting and city shaping transport projects that will help you get home sooner and safer. And there will be more public transport services making it easier to leave the car at home. There's so much to look forward to as we continue to work hard to make Brisbane even better in 2025.

There’s a new plaza in town! 📣 Access to the City Botanic Gardens is now even better following the completion of the new Kangaroo Point Bridge plaza at the intersection of Edward and Alice streets. These improvements, along with the soon-to-be-opened Kangaroo Point Bridge will help people get around our city sooner and safer, and keep Brisbane moving.

Keeping Brisbane moving. ➡️➡️ Brisbane is one of Australia’s fastest growing cities and we need a long term vision to deliver better transport for a better Brisbane. Brisbane Metro will deliver rapid mass transit to more destinations and with all levels of government on board, we can expand it even further. The first stage of expansions includes 22 new stations, including: ⚡️North to Carseldine ⚡️South to Springwood ⚡️East to Capalaba ⚡️the Brisbane Airport We now have the support of all three levels of government, including David Crisafulli, to deliver the first stage of an expansion to our Brisbane Metro bus rapid transit system. This is just the first stage of expansions with opportunities to supercharge services, to more places, more often in the future. ⚡️

The Kangaroo Point Bridge won’t just be one of our city’s most recognisable landmarks, it’ll help keep Brisbane moving too. The bridge is now 90% complete with the concrete deck now in place, laying the foundations for the first people to walk across it. This is the biggest investment in active transport in Brisbane’s history and will help take more than 84,000 cars off the road every year to help you get home sooner and safer.
