  • Private vehicle was the main transport mode in SEQ in 2016 accounting for 79% of all journeys to work. About 10% of residents used public transport to commute to work.
  • Brisbane LGA has the highest public transport mode share in SEQ (18%). However, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Toowoomba have a public transport mode share of less than 2%.
  • Across the 12 LGAs of SEQ, 70% of employed residents worked within their home LGA in 2016.
  • On average, residents could access 43% of SEQ’s jobs within a 45-minute car commute in 2019.
