The timeline of events leading up to the current arrangements commenced in 1991 when the River Connections contract was awarded by Brisbane City Council for the entire CityFerry fleet. In 1996 the River Connections contract was renewed and expanded to include the new CityCat fleet. In 2003 MetroLink Queensland, which was a joint venture between Transdev Australasia and Transfield Services, were awarded a 7-year contract to operate and market the CityCat and CityFerry fleets. In 2004 TransLink was established to coordinate the integration of the South-East Queensland public transport system which meant they took over the marketing activities of MetroLink Queensland. In 2008 the TransdevTSL Brisbane Ferries brand was established, still within the TransLink integrated public transport scheme, when Transfield Services and Transdev ceased the MetroLink Queensland brand.
