Targetting to accommodate 100,000 persons per day - transport to and from the Exposition was one of the first concerns of the Expo Authority, and given the inner city CBD location of the site, a 'no car' zone at the Expo was established - and therefore - no car park!

In an imaginatively done and co-ordinated public affairs campaign, 'Go Easy to Expo' became the popular catch-cry for transport to the Exposition, encouraging people to leave their cars at home and either -

• walk to the Expo site across the familiar Victoria Bridge;
• catch a Queensland Rail (known more commonly as QR) CityTrain network train - to either of the two 'Expo' stations - South Brisbane - at the site's southern end; or Vulture Street Station - at the site's southern end;
• or, catch any of the well-coordinated Brisbane City Council buses or ferries to the site's main entrances.

Furthermore, one could also arrive by -

• Seaplane - via Sea Air Pacific - direct to the Expo 'Ferry Gate' on the Brisbane River - a short 20 minute flight from the Gold Coast Hover Mirage Terminal at Seaworld - five flights each direction - ($88.00 one-way - $158.00 return). 
• Helicopter - the helicopter pad was located at the northern river-side part of the site;
• Rick-shaw - these popular buggies were human-powered by the young and spritely - and would wait for pedestrian traffic at either the Melbourne Street Gate to the Exposition - or the northern (CBD) end of the Victoria Bridge - and - for a modest sum - take one across the bridge to the otherside
• Or, indeed, by hovercraft! As a part of the famous Christopher Skase 'Qintex' empire (now disbanded), which included media, 5-star hotels, and other diverse interests, an exclusive hovercraft service (initiated by Skase) between the Expo site Ferry Gate, the marshland surround of Brisbane Airport, and the Gold Coast 5-star Mirage Resort (also owned by Skase) was established for the duration of the Expo, taking one on a leisurely ride some 25-minutes direct from Brisbane Airport - and some 120-minutes from the Gold Coast (the latter ticket costing $74.00) . No longer commercially viable, after the conclusion of Expo, the $AUD3 million service was stopped. The majestic vista of the exclusive hovercrafts coming up the Brisbane River has not been seen since.

Only some 40 hectares on a slender branch of the central business district reach of the Brisbane River, one could easily walk from one end of the Expo site to the other in just 20 minutes - and mostly under the protective shading of the massive over-arching sun-sails (tension membrane) structures that soared in the open spaces above the Expo site.

One could also:

• Catch the monorail. The $12m monorail was one of the first to be running in Australia and quietly slithered it's way on it's silver and blue neon track from one end of the Expo site to the other - stopping nearby the Vulture Street Gate (northern end) and Melbourne Street Gate (southern end) - free of charge. Particularly memorable were the views from the monorail across and over the Pacific Lagoon - as well as alongside the popular Riverstage - and through the tropical rainforest interior of the Queensland Pavilion;
• Catch the 'Mini-Steam Train'. This mini steam train on wheels chugged along at it's own pace up and around the Expo site - giving one more flexibility than the monorail - and was also free-of-charge.

There were also several other 'people movers' of note on the Expo site - but for travel within Pavilions themselves.

Such as the pod-like carriages of the Queensland Pavilion themed-ride; and the mini-gondola/chair-lift that took one above the snow ski slopes of the interior of the Switzerland Pavilion - and  then out and around the exterior of the Pavilion itself - giving one a 'roof-top' view of the rest of the Expo site, and the City Central Business District across the river.

After the conclusion of the Exposition, the monorail and track were sold, and now feature as a part of the famous Conrad Jupiter Casino and Oasis Shopping Centre shopping complex, at Broadbeach on Brisbane's Gold Coast. The seven minute ride over the Pacific Highway connects Jupiter's Casino and the Gold Coast Convention Centre with the Sofitel Gold Coast, and Oasis Shopping Complex on the coastal side of the Highway - a convenient and popular means of travel above the busy thoroughfare. The monorail is open for travel every day of the calendar year from 8.00am to midnight. Tickets cost $AUD 2.00 per adult - children under 7 travel free.
