HELP! - Sidney to Brisbane - zaheer - 03-30-2005
HI All, I need some help, I am arriving in Sidney on the 20th April at about 9.20pm and need to make my way down to Brisbane.
Please can you advise me of any taxi or bus service that goes directly to Brisbane. My only problem is that I have heard that the last bus goes at 9.30pm so I am going to miss this. Does anybody know of any good taxi service or can anybody recommend anything.
PLEEEEEEASE HELP ME!!!!! I was going to fly down but not only am I broke but theres no flights on that day either.
All help will be GREATLY appreciated...
Thanks
Zaheer

The second you leave the airport, there should be a shitload of cbsa around.

Cheers Fatty, is this like all night, I just don't wanna be stuck in Sidney thats all.....can I like reserve something in advance????
- Fatty Melon - 03-30-2005
Dunno for how long they'll be out there, but when i went a while ago, I got off around midnight, and there were loads of cbsa around.
About reserving, I don't know...someone else on the forum might be able to help you out with that.

Fantastic, thats great thanx.....thats really lifted a burden off my shoulders.....
So in your opinion I will not need to boko anythign in advance? What are the taxis like? Is this like £15-20 to share? or the whole taxi like? Sorry for being such a newbie....last time I rented a car so didnt need all this..... :?
- Fatty Melon - 03-30-2005
No booking needed. And that price is alone, as the law forbids sharing cbsa. It'll probably be closer to 15 though (depending on traffic, closer to 10). Also, if you manage to get a non-metre cabbie, he'll go for alot less.
- bsa - 03-30-2005
You can hop into anycab...just make sure they flag the meter. But sometimes they bring tourists on a longer route just to make a few more bucks.
If you want to be safe...you can look for a limousine cab. Yes..when I say limousine...its actually a normal sedan car that looks much like the usual cab..except they charge you a flat fare.
I tried one...from Sheraton Birkdale (Brisbane) all the way to the airport...80AUDm flat fare. The meter will display 80AUDm all the way.
They will only charge you the displayed price with no additionals.
Hope this help.
But yea...find a job first..then come.

There is a camel caravan that starts at Sidney airport at about 10.30 pm. Very cheap... only $1. Save your money for the hooker.
