THE BRISBANE HOME SHOW 2026

Train (Airtrain)

The Airtrain is the fastest and most direct route from Brisbane Airport to the venue. Trains run every 15 minutes during peak times and every 30 minutes off-peak, with a journey time of approximately 29–37 minutes. South Brisbane station is adjacent to BCEC on Grey Street, and South Bank station is also within walking distance. Services operate from approximately 5:04am to 10:04pm daily. Tickets can be purchased at the station or pre-booked online. The Airtrain is a premium service and is not covered by the standard 50-cent TransLink fare

Train (TransLink suburban network)

Brisbane's TransLink network operates a flat 50-cent fare for all train, bus, and ferry journeys (excluding the Airtrain) with a go card or contactless debit/credit card. South Brisbane Railway Station is adjacent to BCEC on Grey Street, and South Bank Railway Station is also nearby. Trains run frequently throughout the day, connecting the venue to the CBD, Fortitude Valley, and surrounding suburbs

Bus

Major bus routes service the Cultural Centre Station on Melbourne Street and the South Bank Busway Station, both within walking distance of BCEC. The free loop Route 86 connects key South Bank locations. Brisbane Metro (M1 and M2 lines) also operates on the busway network. Bus travel is included in the 50-cent flat fare with go card or contactless payment

Ferry (CityCat and CityHopper)

The CityCat ferry service operates daily and stops at the South Bank River Terminal on the Clem Jones Promenade, a short walk from BCEC. The inner-city ferry connects the CBD, North Quay, and Kangaroo Point, stopping at South Bank Terminal 1 and 2. The free CityHopper loops the inner river every 30 minutes. The CityCat is a scenic and practical way to reach the venue from riverside locations

Taxi / Ride-share

Taxi ranks and ride-share pick-up points are located outside the main entrance to the Centre on Merivale Street and at the Grey Street entrance. From Brisbane Airport, a taxi or ride-share takes approximately 16–21 minutes and costs around AUD 45–55 for a taxi, or AUD 33–67 for Uber depending on the service tier. Ride-share services such as Uber and DiDi operate throughout Brisbane
