Queensland Commuters To Use Contactless Fare Cards

Consumers in the Australian state of Queensland now can use prepaid Go Cards for travel on the TransLink network, the Queensland state transport minister has announced. The Go Card is a contactless card consumers can use to pay for bus, train and ferry rides. Consumers can store up to AU$250 (US$230 or 156 euros) on the cards. Consumers can buy the cards at various merchant locations in Queensland, and they can choose to have automatic top-ups on the cards via credit card payments. The Queensland Government formed the TransLink Transit Authority  to improve and expand public-transport services across Southeast Queensland.
