Pets will soon ride on CityCats and ferries with Queensland’s Transport Minister Mark Bailey supporting the suggestion from Brisbane City Council.

Mr Bailey on Monday described the idea as “positive” and said he would begin a trial of pets on CityCats in the near future.

He said a trial would begin on the Bulimba and Teneriffe ferries but did not set an exact date.

Brisbane City Council will formally write to TransLink – which sits within Mr Bailey’s transport portfolio – to ask for the trial after the idea is passed at the full council meeting on Tuesday.
