Go card is the electronic ticket for South East Queensland . It allows you to travel seamlessly on all TransLink bus, train, ferry and tram services in all suburbs of Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. You can buy a Go Card online or you can buy one at railway stations, 7-Eleven stores
or at major transport interchanges. When you purchase your Go card you pay a refundable deposit of $10. If you no longer need your Gocard, you can request a refund of the deposit plus any travel balance.
Residents and visitors to South East Queensland can use Gocard to easily explore the region. It is easy to use: simply tap on at the beginning and tap off at the end of each trip onboard your bus or ferry or at your train or tram station.
Your go card will automatically calculate and deduct one overall fare.
Go card is easy to top-up at your choice of any 7-Eleven store, a retailer near you or register today for online or phone top-ups.
You can also travel to or from Brisbane Airport and the premium surcharge fare will be charged to your Go Card.
You can pay your fare with contactless Visa, Mastercard and American Express debit or credit cards, including those in a digital wallet, wherever Smart Ticketing is live. Contactless payment is available on all South East Queensland (SEQ) trains, trams, Brisbane River ferries and is now being progressively rolled out on buses.
A flat fare of 50c is charged for each journey on trains, trams, buses and ferries. It is that simple. The exception is when travelling on Airtrain to or from Brisbane Airport when an total fare of $10.95 will be charged to your GoCard or contactless credit card, or $11.45 to include a flat 50c fare to suburban stations beyond the Brisbane CBD.
Children less than 5 years old travel free and do not require a ticket, but all other travellers must have a valid Go Card.
