The Brisbane City Council has promised to deliver on a 2016 election commitment for new CityCat services.

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has allocated funds in the 2018-19 council budget, with services planning to halve peak-hour CityCat travel times and run to new destinations.

Funding is believed to be close to $1 million within the Brisbane CityCat and Ferry services, with council plans to deliver 100 new express “SpeedyCat” services a week before September.
