Park 'n' ride in Brisbane
Every station car park across South East Queensland, with roughly how many spaces each one has. Parking is free, the trip in is a flat 50c, and you can leave the car from the first service until the last. Drive the awkward first few kilometres, let the train do the rest.

A word of warning that the space counts won't tell you: the popular commuter car parks fill on weekday mornings, often well before 8am at the busy outer stations. If you need a space, take an earlier train, or try the station one stop further out, which will frequently have room when the closer one is full.

Space counts are Translink's own approximate figures, published in their park 'n' ride location data and last rebuilt here on 2026-08-03. Train station car parks are managed by Queensland Rail, and some bus and ferry car parks by Brisbane City Council. Treat the numbers as indicative rather than a live count of what's free right now.

Park 'n' ride questions
Is park 'n' ride free in Brisbane?+
Yes. Park 'n' ride car parks at Translink stations are free to use, and you pay only the flat 50 cent fare for the trip itself. You can park from the first service of the day until the last. Leave a car parked and unmoved for days on end and it may be treated as abandoned.
Which Brisbane station has the most parking?+
The biggest commuter car parks are on the outer rail lines, where most people drive to the station. The full list below is sorted by region and shows Translink's approximate space count for each of the 144 car parks on the network, so you can see how your station compares with the next one down the line.
What time does station parking fill up?+
The popular commuter car parks fill on weekday mornings, often well before 8am at the busy outer stations. If you need a space, the earlier trains are the safer bet. A station one stop further out will frequently have room when the closer one is full.
Do I have to pay for parking at a train station?+
Not at a Translink park 'n' ride. Train station car parks are managed by Queensland Rail and some bus and ferry car parks by Brisbane City Council, and both are free for people using public transport. Paid parking near a station is a private operator, not park 'n' ride.
