The University has been advised by TransLink that all Brisbane River CityCat and cross-river services have been cancelled from 6pm tonight until Tuesday due to the large amount of debris in the river after this week’s storms.
The last upstream CityCat service will depart Riverside for The University of Queensland at 6.02pm. The last downstream CityCat service will depart Riverside for Apollo Road at 6pm.
All CityCat and CityFerry services are suspended across the weekend and are expected to resume at 5.30am on Tuesday, November 25 — unless services can safely resume earlier.
Debris from flooding to the west of Brisbane is expected to come downstream over coming days, which could cause a safety hazard for the vessels.
TransLink apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
Shuttle buses have been organised to transport passengers from Riverside and North Quay to Hawthorne and Bulimba, this evening.
