Brisbane

How late can you get home to each Brisbane suburb?

The late-night transport gap, suburb by suburb

You're in the city and it's getting late. When does the last train, bus or ferry actually leave for your suburb, and which suburbs are left with a car or a rideshare? We worked out the last service home from the CBD to every Brisbane suburb, door to door, for a normal weeknight, a Friday and a Sunday. On a weeknight the median suburb's last service leaves at 11:37pm, but 12 suburbs have nothing after 8pm.

Get home by 8pm, or get an Uber

These suburbs have no public transport home from the city after 8pm on a normal weeknight. Miss it and the realistic last service home is a lift, a taxi or a rideshare.

Weeknight, Friday, Sunday

The night matters as much as the suburb. On Friday and Saturday nights most lines run about an hour later (139 suburbs get a later last service). Sunday is the earliest: 24 suburbs are done by 9pm. The last CityCat leaves the city at 11:50pm.

The suburbs you can always get home to

Late trains and the inner bus network keep these suburbs reachable the longest on a weeknight.

Just want your way home tonight? Use the live last-service tool or your suburb's last train home guide. This page is the bigger picture: the data across the whole city.

Reading the surprising ones: a long walk(say Ferny Grove or Richlands) means the last service is a train to a station a little beyond the suburb's centre — we show the walk rather than pretend it drops you at the door. An early last time on a train suburb(say Upper Kedron) usually means the train still runs late, but the local feeder bus that connects to it has stopped for the night, so you can't finish the trip. “All night”is an inner suburb where Friday service runs straight through into the morning. Every figure is measured to each suburb's population-weighted centre(tap 📍), so a big suburb's number reflects its middle, not its best-served corner.

How we calculated it

We take TransLink's public GTFS timetable and, for every suburb, run a Connection Scan: a search that finds the latest moment you can leave the Brisbane CBD and still get home, by train, bus or ferry. It is door to door. The trip finishes when you are set down within a short walk (up to 1600m) of the suburb's population-weighted centre— the middle of where people actually live, from the WorldPop 2020 grid, not the geographic centre that can land in a park. Every suburb's exact point is published: tap the 📍 next to its name.

Transfers are allowed, up to two changes, and they must genuinely connect: you can only board an onward service that leaves at least 5minutes after you arrive, so “last train 11:40, last bus 11:35” is never counted as a journey. Where the last service leaves you more than an 800m walk from the centre, we say so and show the walk, because that late-night walk is part of the trip.

We used a normal week with no line closed for trackwork: Tuesday 11 August 2026 (weeknight), Friday 14 August 2026 (Friday) and Sunday 16 August 2026 (Sunday). We checked every line against the rest of the month and avoided dates where any line was running a reduced evening timetable.

Where it can be off

  • This is the standard timetable, not tonight's. Trackwork, strikes and cancellations make the real last service earlier — see our live network report.
  • We measure from the CBD. Leaving from Fortitude Valley or elsewhere can differ.
  • We include residential suburbs only. Non-residential localities (Brisbane Airport, the Port, Pinkenba, Lytton, Mount Coot-tha) are left out — nobody lives there to go home to.
  • Scope is Brisbane City Council, within 20km of the CBD. Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redland are not included here.

Last-service questions

When does the last train leave Brisbane on a weeknight?+

It depends on the line, but the last services from Central run close to midnight on most lines (for example the last Ferny Grove train is 11:36pm). Across Brisbane's suburbs the median last service home on a normal weeknight leaves the CBD at 11:37pm. Use the table to find your suburb.

Do trains and buses run later on Friday and Saturday nights?+

Yes. On Friday and Saturday nights most lines and high-frequency buses run about an hour later, and a NightLink service covers one corridor. 139 of the suburbs here get a later last service on a Friday, a median of about an hour later than a weeknight.

Which Brisbane suburbs have the worst late-night public transport?+

The outer and car-dependent suburbs. 12 suburbs have no way home from the city by public transport after 8pm on a weeknight, and 4 have no evening service at all. In those, your realistic last service home is a lift, a taxi or a rideshare.

How is the last service home worked out?+

For every suburb we run a Connection Scan over TransLink's public timetable to find the latest departure from the CBD that gets you home, allowing up to two changes that genuinely connect (with a five-minute buffer, so the last train actually meets the last bus). We measure door to door, to within a short walk of each suburb's population-weighted centre. Full method below.

Is this tonight's timetable?+

No. It is the standard published timetable on a normal week, not tonight's live running. Trackwork, strikes and cancellations can make the real last service earlier, so always check before you travel. Our live network report tracks how often that happens.
