Double-Decker CityCat to Cruise Brisbane River By Christmas

The first of seven double-decker CityCat boats vessels will be operational by the end of the year, reports brisbanetimes.com.au.

 

This next generation of over-river transport is valued at $30 million over the next four years, with each vessel having capacity for 170 passengers, almost floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the ground level, open-air upper deck with seating for 16, viewing area inside at the front, 6 spaces for mobility scooters and/or wheelchairs, table and lounge seating options, USB charging ports, and hearing augmentation loops. 

 

Brisbane currently has 21 CityCats in operation. Lord Mayor Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the new design to add to the appeal of the iconic public transport method.

 

“Council is proud to provide world-class public transport along the Brisbane River, with our modern fleet of CityCats getting people home quicker and safer.

 

“London is famous for its double-decker buses, what better way to see Brisbane than from our double-decker SuperCat.

 

“Council is committed to delivering Australia’s most modern public and active transport, and our world-class CityCat transport network is just one of the ways that we’re getting people home quicker and safer with more travel options, said Cr Schrinner.

 

Hannah Schuhmann said the pieces of the puzzle are coming together as Brisbane works towards transformation into a world city over the next 5 years. The new and improved CityCats’ will be yet another drawcard for tourists when they visit our great city, along with the upcoming Queen’s Wharf Development and the Brisbane Quarter to name but a few.
