A Brisbane ferry has reportedly been evacuated on Thursday morning, with passengers telling Brisbane Times it appeared to be taking on water.
About 40 people were asked to get off the 8.01am CityCat service from Hawthorne to Riverside.
“[It] felt like it was going to sink and water seemed to be coming on,” a passenger said.
“Bit of an ongoing issue as they are so overcrowded.”
Brisbane Times has contacted Translink and Brisbane City Council for further information.
More to come.
