About this route

Queensland adds a small airport-pickup surcharge to fares starting at Brisbane Airport; that surcharge is already baked into the A$40.89 typical meter shown above. Friday-evening trips from Brisbane Airport to Chermside price similarly at A$40.89, since the regulated tariff doesn’t shift until the late-night band activates.

Brisbane Airport sits ~14 km north-east of the CBD; AirportLink and the Clem7 tunnel both shorten the trip but add tolls. Standard QLD rank-and-hail rules apply between Brisbane Airport and Chermside: the driver must run the meter unless a regulated fixed fare is explicitly in effect (so the A$40.89 midpoint above is a maximum, not a quote). Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) sets the metered ceiling reflected here — about A$40.89 on the day rate for the trip into Chermside.
