Commute to Brisbane CBD

Public transport is managed by **TransLink**, which operates both buses and trains. Acacia Ridge does not have its own train station on the Beenleigh line map (the nearest stations appear to be Coopers Plains or Sunnybank, based on the SEQ rail network diagram) [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railways_in_South_East_Queensland]. Driving via the **Logan Motorway (M6)** is a direct route that connects to the Ipswich Motorway and on into the CBD, but expect peak-hour traffic [Source: https://www.puffersinnloganmotel.com.au/post/navigating-from-acacia-ridge-to-brisbane-your-essential-travel-guide]. TransLink fares are currently discounted to 50 cents for all trips, making the bus/train combination cost-effective [Source: https://translink.com.au/].
