Cheapest way to Brisbane CBD no time issues Train?

[markis10]

I'm going to RACS at Shafston Ave (56 I think). Just a bit worried that arriving BNE at 0810 is cutting it fine, although the alternative was the 0630 JQ flight up there and that's a bit early.

Too easy, the cab driver will need to do a legal U turn at the second set of lights on Shafston Ave after exiting the tunnel, RACS is back up on top of the hill just after the tunnel entrance and an indented bus stop. There is only one traffic light at the airport, so it will be a quick trip.

The flight gets in at 1955hrs
I will take the Airport train to central or is it roma?
I then need another train out to Cleveland and then taxi from there ahhhhhhhh!
Is it cheaper to use the GOcard all the way or pre-purchase the train trip online?
I know cab would cost $120 to where I need to go.

You can change for Cleveland line at Eagle Junction, Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley, Central, Roma St station or even Park Road if train does not terminate at Roma St station.

Use a go card and you may get some sort of saving especially that time of night as will be off-peak.

Agree with markis10.

I've found it pays to tell the cabbie which way you want to go - especially if you are in a hurry. At that time of day the tolls will be a good "investment" in terms of time.
