Brisbane is now well into the festive season, and there no better way than attending than completely forget about the car and get public transport.

Transport Minister John Mickel said last week the Queensland Government would again this year provide extra NightLink bus and taxi services for the thousands of people pouring into City and Valley pubs and clubs over Christmas and New Year.

This will help get holiday season revellers home safely

“The party people of Brisbane love the convenient, affordable, and safe alternative that NightLink public transport provides them,” he said.

“From when it started two years ago, the NightLink bus, train and taxi services have transported around 380,000 people.

“Party time is now underway in the City and the Valley from now until New Year and we want to get our late night revellers home safely.

“I encourage everyone who’s in town having a drink for Christmas to leave the car keys at home and jump in a NightLink bus, train or taxi.”
