The city of Brisbane has been unable to give answers as to why more suburbs have access to novelty inner-city catamarans than actual train stations.
The iconic CityCat ferry service is somewhat of a tourist attraction in the South East, and travels almost the entire length of the Brisbane river as a sight-seeing service and transport option for waterfront residents.
CityCat services operate from University of Queensland to Northshore Hamilton calling at West End, Guyatt Park, Regatta, Milton, North Quay, South Bank, QUT Gardens Point, Riverside, Sydney Street, Mowbray Park, New Farm Park, Hawthorne, Bulimba, Teneriffe, Bretts Wharf and Apollo Road.
And unlike trains, the CityCats also provide a peak time express service in their journeys across West, East, South and North Brisbane.
However, while cute, it is not known why this is a bigger and more serviced mode of transport than the six train lines that cross through the city.
Our reporters visited that fucking huge government building on William street, which stands in front of a CityCat station, to ask what was going on.
“I dunno to be honest” says one town planner, Berg Zwar (55) who is only reminded about the city’s half-backed rail infrastructure when he walks past South Brisbane station on the way to the theatre.
“I guess because we have a really windy river, I guess”
“But fucks me how the people that don’t live near the river get around”
“Haha”
