Finally, a Ferry

City Ferry arriving at Thornton St.,

Every day I've gone to work in Milton using a city ferry as one stage of the journey. It's a great commute anda fairly quick ride across the river to Eagle Street. This is one of a small number of cross-river boats. They are single deck and travel only three stops connecting Kangaroo Point with the CBD. They're great little boats and the roundtrip fare is A$4.40 per day or A$17.60 for a week. Once ticketed, you can ride anywhere within a single zone all day on the ferries, the city cats, the buses, or the trains. It's a great deal, and very handy for making car-less freaks like me able to get around. The rest of Brisbane seems very suburban and car-oriented. It's very first world that way, or at least, the part I've been exposed to so far.
