Away Brisbane's Eagle Farm airport is a busy international arrival and departure point with frequent flights to Asia, Europe, the Pacific islands, North America, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. The main bus terminal is the Transit Centre on Roma St, and all the main bus companies arrive and leave from here.
Buses run to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Cairns, as well as towns up and down the coast.
Trains also arrive at the Transit Centre. There are direct trains to Sydney, but if you want to go any further south or west, you'll have to go via Sydney. Rail travel within Queensland is slower and more expensive than the bus, but it's often more comfortable, and you can get rail passes. There are also shuttle buses to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. The fast Citytrain network has seven lines, and there is an efficient ferry service along and across the Brisbane River.
