Catching public transport? Have you got your go card?

TransLink’s go card is the quicker and easier way for you to travel on public transport. go card fares are about 30 per cent cheaper than the cost of a single paper ticket.

Simply touch your go card on at the beginning and touch off at the end of your journey across all TransLink bus, train and ferry services. The correct fare is automatically deducted from your go card balance.

Which go card is right for you?

Full-time students who attend a university, institute of TAFE or other approved tertiary institution located in Queensland are eligible for a Concession go card. Students must hold a current and valid photo identification card marked ‘full-time’ with the QR logo or a Tertiary Transport Card.
