Bus services

Brisbane Transport runs shuttle bus services between the city, including Roma Street Station, and major suburban centres.  From all destinations, at least one-third of the shuttle buses have low floor, wheelchair accessible buses.

Rail services

Patrons in wheelchairs or with a walking disability can use Citytrain services to and from Roma Street Station.  From Roma Street they can connect with a shuttle bus directly to and from the Stadium.

Patrons can access lifts from the station platform to the subway and a ramp from the Roma Street Transit Centre to street level where shuttle buses will be available.

Staff are on hand at the Station to assist in boarding the buses.  Patrons with a disability should call Transinfo on 13 12 30 should they require assistance with making the train to bus transfer at Roma Street.

On arrival at Suncorp Stadium bus station, staff assist patrons to access the bus station lift.

Maxi-taxi and car drop offs

There are two set-down and pick-up zones, suitable for maxi-taxis and cars carrying people with a disability.  These are located at Castlemaine Street (between Cordova Street and Heussler Terrace) and Caxton Steet (between Hale Street and Castlemaine Street).

Maxi-taxis can also use the taxi rank in Castlemaine Street near Caxton Street.

After events, up to 10 vehicles, including maxi-taxis, are able to wait in these zones for people with disabilities exiting the Stadium.

Car parking for patrons with a disability

On event days, a car parking zone in Castlemaine and Cordova Streets are available for the holders of Blue Disability Parking Permits.  Stadium staff are stationed in Cordova, Castlemaine and Chippendall Streets to assist in accessing the Stadium.
