A no-car visit works best when the destination comes before the timetable. Choose a riverfront outing or a Boundary Street visit, rather than assuming the ferry terminal, market and arts precinct are the same arrival point.

For a riverfront visit
Translink identifies West End ferry terminal as stop 317574. Its departure board lists services by destination, including F1 towards UQ St Lucia and Northshore Hamilton. Select the direction and open the full timetable; a departure snapshot is not a fixed all-day schedule.
Read our market and riverfront guide to choose the actual stop you want to visit. Davies Park and Orleigh Park are separate destinations, so include the onward journey in your plan.
For books or a performance
Metro Arts is at 97 Boundary Street inside West Village. Its visitor guide directs arrivals through the Boundary Street garden entrance and along Factory Lane. Use the Boundary Street guide to connect the arts precinct with books or food.
Metro Arts recommends arriving 30 minutes before a performance. Work backwards from that arrival time when selecting transport, and check the session’s running time before choosing the return trip.
Check the journey, not just the route number
Use Translink’s journey planner and service updates for your travel date. Include walking legs, any interchange and the journey after the event. If step-free access or seating is essential, check the transport and venue arrangements directly.
For a lower-spend outing, pair this plan with West End on a budget. For children, use the family guide to keep the number of stops manageable.
