Passenger safety is one of our main priorities.
We're able to maintain safety across the network with help from:
Queensland Rail Authorised Officers, Network Officers and Senior Network Officers
Queensland Rail Authorised Officers, Network Officers and Senior Network Officers patrol the Translink network. They're dedicated to decreasing fare evasion and encouraging positive travel behaviour on our network.
They have the authority to:
- ask you to show your ticket and, if applicable, your concession ID
- issue on-the-spot fines for ticket and behaviour offences
- request proof of name, age and address
- remove anyone who is a nuisance or danger to fellow passengers.
Safety officers and guards
Various staff ensure passenger safety across our network, including:
- busway safety officers who patrol busways 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- guards patrolling designated train services and train carriages (check your train timetable for guardian train information)
- accessible staff on all CityCats and ferries
- customer service staff on some buses, trams and at tram stations during the day and weekend night trams.
- network officers can be found on Translink urban and school bus services operated by Kinetic Sunshine Coast, Kangaroo Bus Lines (Moreton Bay), Kinetic Gold Coast, Clarks (Logan), Hornibrook Bus Lines (Redcliffe), Caboolture Bus Lines, and Transdev; and in the regions of Cairns and Townsville.
