Apollo Road is a ferry wharf in the suburb of Bulimba used by the CityCat on the Brisbane River. The wharf and the cross river service to Bretts Wharf were closed in December 1998 due to declining profit margins.[1] It was reopened as an extension to the CityCat service in February 2008.[2]
In January 2011, the wharf sustained minor damage during the devastating floods.[3] It was repaired and reopened on 14 February 2011.[4][5]
Until October 2011 the Apollo Road wharf was the terminus for the CityCat services located downstream on the Brisbane River. On 2 October 2011 the CityCat services were extended further downstream to the Northshore Hamilton wharf.[6]
