More than one million people living on the outskirts of Brisbane do not have access to frequent public transport services within walking distance of their home.

An Infrastructure Australia report due to be released on Friday reveals that about four in five residents living in areas on the fringe of Queensland's capital, such as Logan Central, Goodna and Redcliffe, were not within walking distance of frequent public transport.

About 200,000 residents in Brisbane's middle suburbs could not walk to medium or high-frequency public transport, while that number dropped to only 17,000 in Brisbane's inner-city.

Almost a quarter of outer-Brisbane residents travelled more than 30 kilometres to work, compared with only 2 per cent of people in inner-Brisbane.
