Media Statement
The Honourable Mark Bailey, Minister for Transport and Main Roads
All public transport commuters in the south east will need to use a go card or pay for tickets using station fare machines from today.
Passengers will no longer have the option to pay cash on south east Queensland trains, trams, ferries and buses to promote better social distancing during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said phasing out cash payments would speed up boarding and reduce contact between drivers and passengers.
