Commuter newspaper mX has taken a look back at "all the awesome stuff and the dirty headlines" published over the years as the farewell editions hit the streets of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne today.

The free afternoon paper began in Melbourne in 2001, before being expanded by owner News Corp to Sydney in 2005 and Brisbane in 2007.

For years, mX was handed out on city streets and placed around the busiest bus and train station.

Its brief was to focus on "a daily celebration of the best news and entertainment delivered with a trademark cheeky, irreverent and fun style".

The paper's sudden closure was announced two weeks ago, and comes just months after a redesign of the paper and its mobile app.

The blame was put on a "swift shift to mobile" of mX's "younger commuter audience".

Today, the final front page reads: "From all of us at mX, a heartfelt thanks for picking us up and letting us share your ride home. We hope you've enjoyed the journey as much as we have. Here's looking at all of you."

"We've gone into full navel-gazing mode and looking back and celebrating all the awesome stuff we've done, the dirty headlines we've published the readers we've loved over the past 14 years since our first edition back in 2001," a Facebook status from mX read.

Readers of mX, its journalists and community groups featured in the paper over the years have already taken to social media to celebrate the paper's final day:
