Bribie Island residents will have access to a new on-demand public transport service from November 30, 2026, at 50 cents a trip.

The Queensland Government said the three-year trial will provide a flexible, shared transport service connecting residents to shops, healthcare facilities, community services and the wider Translink network.

Passengers will be able to pre-book trips through the Translink On Demand app, online or by phone, with bookings opening when the service launches.

The service will operate seven days a week:

  • Monday to Friday: 4.30am to 10pm
  • Saturday: 7am to 10pm
  • Sunday and public holidays: 7am to 7pm

All journeys will cost 50 cents under Queensland’s permanent 50-cent public transport fare arrangements.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Brent Mickelberg said the service would provide more travel options for Bribie Island residents.

Member for Pumicestone Ariana Doolan said the service would particularly benefit people without regular access to a car.

“This is fantastic news for Bribie Island residents and a transport initiative our community has been calling for,” Ms Doolan said.

“The service will make it easier for people to access local shops, healthcare, community facilities and public transport connections, particularly for those who don’t always have easy access to a car – and best of all, it’ll be just 50 Cents thanks to our Permanent 50 Cent Fares.”
