Hornibrook Bus

Partnership is at the core of the Hornibrook approach. Through Hornibrook, Keolis Downer is the only bus operator holding contracts with both TransLink and Brisbane Transport.

Hornibrook operates public and school bus services on the Redcliffe Peninsula adjacent to the magnificent Moreton Bay in Brisbane’s northernmost reaches. We service the train stations at Sandgate and Petrie to give our customers access to the vast Queensland Rail (QR) network.

In addition to its main contract with TransLink, Hornibrook is the only company to sub-contract to Brisbane Transport. This arrangement was made possible because of the strong relationship that has been established between the two entities, founded on trust.
