Seems the ride shares may be topping up the prices to get out of Brisbane after Riverfire

From Sam (Thursday drive) extra buses and trains are on tonight even though the city cats may be unavailable.

Perhaps train and bus close to home and try a traditional cab (black and white, yellow etc)

Riverfire revellers could be slugged up to nine times more what they usually pay on Ubers as rideshare services and cowboy cabbies cash in on the event crippled by a total shutdown of Brisbane’s ferry system. Story: https://bit.ly/4xQloeE
