The Brisbane City Council has denied the possible introduction of a council founded ferry between Bulimba and Teneriffe despite more than 500 residents petitioning for it.
The proposed plan was to be a free cross river ferry from the two stops, similar to the City Hopper. However Chairman Adrian Schrinner said the already existing services connecting Bulimba and Teneriffe are not underutilised and both areas do not need a patronage boost.
However, Morningside Councillor Kara Cook has said the city council has missed the point of the planned route as it was about getting people out of their cars and onto public transport.
