Getting
around
How to use this book
This book will help you get around the Gold Coast
and all its attractions by bus.
The Gold Coast Highway is the starting point for
most of the bus routes featured in this guide and
destinations are categorised by subject alphabetically.
Each attraction is listed at the top of the page, along
with its map reference. Descriptions are included as
well as attraction operation times and other handy
hints such as how to time your arrival.
Terminology
The following terms are often referred to throughout
this guide. Here’s what they mean:
HIGHWAY - Most hotels are located near the Gold
Coast Highway, which is where most of the buses
run. The Gold Coast Highway is often where you will
catch your bus.
BEACH SIDE - To travel south, wait at a bus stop on
the side of the Highway closest to the beach.
DRY SIDE - To travel north, wait at a bus stop on the
side of the Highway furthest away from the beach.
Don’t forget to pick up a
Freedom or Gold Pass from
your travel agent – you
can enjoy unlimited bus
travel around the coast on
Surfside Buslines.
