Transport around Brisbane is managed by both the Brisbane City Council and the Government of Queensland, which owns Queensland Rail. Public commuter rail transport is by Citytrain, an electric train system operated by Queensland Rail. Road transport is via the standard residential street network managed by Brisbane City Council and the connecting arterial road network which is managed by Queensland Main Roads. The public bus transport system is operated by the Brisbane City Council, and utilises the road network as well as dedicated bus lanes and busways. Public transport on and across the Brisbane River is provided by the Cityferry (inner city) and CityCat services run by the Brisbane City Council.

Transport in and out of Brisbane is managed by both public and private enterprises. Queensland Rail manages a freight and passenger service inter-city and interstate. Queensland Main Roads manages the Queensland road network. Port of Brisbane is a private company that provides bulk sea freighter facilities. Brisbane Airport Corporation Limited manages the Brisbane Airport which has both domestic and international terminals with both freight and passenger services.

Busways have been established to provide public transport to areas outside the reach of the metropolitan train lines. They permit unrestricted bus travel throughout the northern, eastern, and southern corridors of the city, providing road systems where only buses are permitted. Two busways have opened in recent years in Brisbane operated by Translink — the South-East Busway and the Inner-Northern Busway — with three more busways (Northern, Eastern, Boggo Road) planned.

Services to the northern and western suburbs are good quality while the southern and eastern region continues to lag behind in services and on time standards as well as a lack of total capacity that leads to peak time overcrowding issues. Buses operate on a 5am to midnight timetable generally throughout the week with some Friday and Saturday night 24 hour services operated by Brisbane city council buses. However lack of early morning services for shift workers ( 2-4am) and some outlying areas with rapidly growing populations are lacking services outside of the 6am to 6pm timeframes.

BUZ (Bus Upgrade Zones) are high frequency routes, pioneered by Brisbane City Council, and provide services at least every 15 minutes on any day of the week, 6am-11pm. [1]
