| Buses, taxis and ferries are all good ways to move around. Cycling is also a popular option. You can catch a train to Sydney and flying with Qantas gets you even further.
Fare Free Bus Zone
State Transit buses (thats the blue and white ones) are FREE within the inner city zone. The fare free zone operates between 7:30am and 6:00pm seven days a week. This is a fantastic way to get around the inner city for free without the hassles of driving and parking. Normal fares apply for travel outside of this zone. Ask the bus driver if you are unsure of the route or detination.
