Rail Travel

Suburban rail services

Concession fares are calculated at half the cost of the adult fare on TransLink train services in South East Queensland.

From 25 June 2012, passengers will travel for free after nine go card journeys in a week (from Monday to Sunday). In addition, off-peak travel (9 am to 3.30 pm and after 7 pm) will be even cheaper with a 20% discount on go card travel. Seniors and pensioners will continue to travel for free after two journeys in one day using go card.
