 QR City Train and The Queensland Performing Arts Centre
QR Citytrain estimates that since the Festival began in 1992 they have transported 400,000, 3 to 8 year old children, plus their parents and their carers to and from the Festival.
For QR Citytrain the main objectives of the partnership are to encourage Festival audiences to travel to the Festival by train, at affordable prices and in a safe, enjoyable environment for children; and to encourage Festival audiences to become regular train travellers in the future.
For QR Citytrain, the key driver was the opportunity to position and promote itself to current and future rail users and to the whole community and as a safe, friendly, easy, efficient mode of transport.

 Rail - Transport Service Contracts - Citytrain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The Citytrain Transport Service Contract (TSC) was signed on 17 September 1999 for $A283 million per annum.

 InterCity Express (CityTrain) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
QR introduced the ICE sets in 1988, for use on the North Coast Line between Brisbane and Rockhampton.
The ICEs were transferred to CityTrain for interurban services on the Nambour and Gympie North Line.
They no longer operate on the Gold Coast Line; despite their origin as long-distance trains and their higher standards of comfort (greater than the IMU sets), the narrow width, positioning and hinged configuration of doors and increasingly lower reliability, combined with the popularity of the line, make it difficult to run them there.

 A case study of bicycle parking at selected Australian rail stations in Brisbane - Echos du Vélo
Even so, Citytrain has demonstrated that able bodied Australians will cycle to a station if the serious problems of bicycle theft and vandalism are addressed with free lockers.
After all there is free car parking which costs far more ; when 25% of locker users no longer park their cars at the station it reduces the cost per vehicle parked and optimises the use of car parks.
Citytrains provision of 453 lockers per 10,000 commuters should be accepted as an achievable 5 year target for all Australian capital city rail networks.

 Resources - Transport challenges still looming unanswered - 10 July 2002
While the Trainlink and other coordinated bus services have shown the Citytrain network can be usefully extended by bus services, BCC continues not to provide such services.
For example, Citytrain's bike locker program is well regarded nationally, yet there is no evidence of support for the massive expansion of these facilities that would allow a critical mass of cycling to public transport.
Similarly the priority for Citytrain station upgrades seems to be a complete mystery - Corinda which has "old" ramps gets lifts, yet Indooroopilly, which is the highest volume non-CBD Citytrain station still has no lifts.
