There are some exceptions to the Brissos’ no public transport rule.
When there is a Rugby test on at the Suncorp stadium, some Brissos will be organized by friends (who have done the research) to travel by public transport part of the way home from the game.

may call for a rare public transport experience
This is one of the rare times that a Brisso will travel by train. It is generally to a designated spot where they will be picked up by a member of their family. This action is not taken lightly – bitter experience has shown them that taxis are hard to get after the game and traffic congestion makes it impossible for a family member to pick them up at the venue.
Another exception to the rule is the city cat. Very occasionally Brissos will use the city cat, perhaps to attend a function at Riverside or South Bank, or do this when overseas visitors are in town. Brissos feel especially virtuous if they do this. They speak positively about the citycat, surprised at how quickly it gets them into the city. They may say they really should use it more often.
Some Brissos live near the river in the tranquil suburbs of Hamilton, Bulimba, New Farm, Toowong, St Lucia. If their homes and offices are conveniently located near ferry stops, the city cat might be an appropriate transport choice.
There is an away from home rule that moderates the general no public transport rule with Brissos (as with so many rules).
When travelling overseas Brissos will often engage in some of the more metropolitan practices of the local urban dwellers. Brissos always speak enthusiastically about the subway system in New York city, London, Paris, and Tokyo.
