If there’s anything I love about a transfer bus service, is that it makes transportation convenient from the airport to the city you wish to visit. Via transfer bus, it will take 55 minutes to travel from the Gold Coast Airport to Surfers Paradise. But for travellers arriving via Brisbane Airport, I recommend you catch a bus or train to Helensvale and then transfer to the light rail to Surfers Paradise. The only difference is that arriving at Surfers Paradise will take 1 hour and 10 minutes.
