A trial of Smart Ticketing payments options on heavy rail will expand to the Ipswich/Rosewood and Springfield lines from today.
The trial will allow adult customers travelling anywhere between Rosewood and Central, and Springfield and Central, to tap on and off newly-installed Smart Ticketing equipment with Visa, Mastercard or American Express contactless debit or credit cards, or smart devices such as phones and watches.
The move follows the launch of Smart Ticketing payment options on the Ferny Grove train line in June, and on Gold Coast light rail in December 2020.
Both trials have been overwhelmingly successful and will pave the way for the new payment options to be expanded to other heavy rail lines in the coming months.
The heavy rail trial will be followed by the progressive installation and testing of more than 18,500 Smart Ticketing on-board payment devices on Queensland buses and ferries.
