Media Release 14 February 2011

SEQ:  Welcome back CityCat and CityFerry services!

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport commuters has congratulated TransdevTSL (Brisbane Ferries) and the Brisbane City Council on the return to service today of many Brisbane River Ferry services.

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"The Brisbane River Ferry system is an important public transport asset on the overall TransLink public transport network in Brisbane. Very popular with tourists and commuters alike, the return today of a number of services is very welcome! Full details are available on the TransLink website (1)."

"TransLink and Brisbane Transport responded well with some supporting bus services whilst the ferries were out of action.  Buses do unfortunately get caught up often in the road congestion.  A pleasant journey and commute on the river is for many, much more enjoyable than the peak hour road gridlock, and the resumption of services today will be welcomed by all."
