All fares on Translink services are now 50 cents per journey, regardless of how far you travel on the network or how you choose to pay – whether it’s by go card, contactless debit or credit card, or paper ticket.
You no longer need to apply for concession fares as a tertiary student.
Ticket options
- South East Queensland
- To travel on services in South East Queensland, you can use:
- a blue adult go card
- a green concession go card
- your contactless debit or credit card including those on a digital wallet like Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or Samsung Pay (on all train, tram, ferry, and selected bus services where available), or
- a pre-purchased paper ticket.

Handy hints

- If you’re using go card, remember to register your card and set up auto top-up so you always have funds available for travel.
- Always tap on and tap off when using go card or your contactless debit or credit card.
