Brisbane City Council is expecting Brisbane buses to generate more than $28 million dollars in income from 2018-19.

More than $11 million dollars will come from bus shelter advertising and advertising on buses, and approximately 21 percent of the revenue coming from chartering or leasing the buses for special events.

Public and active chairman Adrian Schrinner said the council also increased its casual bus driver workforce this year, to support the growing number of events held in Brisbane.
