Description
A 2015 point dataset depicts ferry terminal locations along the Brisbane River between St Lucia and Hamilton. The dataset includes attributes such as terminal name, street, suburb, latitude, longitude, accessibility, parking, and nearby bus services. It was created by Brisbane City Council using aerial photography and is not intended for navigational purposes.
Use Cases
Map ferry terminal locations using latitude and longitude coordinates for spatial analysis of public transport networks.
Analyze the distribution of accessibility features across terminal locations to assess public transport inclusivity.
Identify terminals with parking and nearby bus services to model multi-modal transport connectivity.
Segment terminals by service type (CityCat or CityFerry) for route planning and service frequency studies.
Strengths
Data points were digitized from 0.1 metre resolution aerial photography for positional accuracy.
Includes multiple operational attributes per location, such as accessibility, parking, and service type.
Sourced from Brisbane City Council's internal data, providing authoritative local government information.
Limitations
