About the Apollo Road ferry terminalBretts Wharf ferry terminal crossing

Three minutes, four hundred metres, and fifty-seven departures a day. The two terminals face each other across the Brisbane River at Hamilton, and the CityCat treats the gap as a level crossing rather than a journey.

Fifteen minutes in the morning peak

Between 07:01 and 09:01 the weekday-only sailings come at :01, :05, :16, :31, :46 — four or five an hour on top of the all-week service. Outside the peak it settles to a boat every half hour.

Twenty run every day

The rest split across five more calendars, including twelve Saturday-only departures clustered in the afternoon and evening. The last boat is 23:20 on Saturdays; on a Sunday it is 22:50.

8 August to 7 October 2026

A two-month edition. Brisbane reissues its river timetables rather than amending them, so the pattern is more durable than the dates suggest.

  • go card / contactless / 50c flat fare
