Despite community outcry, the Brisbane City Council have not elected to reinstate the Norman Park cross-river ferry.

The cancelled service provides transport to 139 residents a day. 

Whilst the Norman Park service was cut, the Council budget directs $22 million to new services and upgrades to existing terminals at South Bank and Howard Smith Wharves. 

Residents of New Farm and Norman Park have taken to Facebook to express concerns the cancellation turns a three minute journey into a 45 minute commute.
