AIRTRAIN Brisbane Go Card 😡

[Albert Hoffman]

Does the gocard loophole (tap and chuck) still work with the new readers at the airport?

The Qld government is trying to get out of the airtrain contract and it really needs to before the Olympics.

50% instead of 50¢

Half-price train tickets to Brisbane Airport

That will help with the car vs train price comparison. Be interesting to see whether Airpark prices come down,

Great news with the Airtrain announcement today.

Giggles trying to buy more votes...
We have effectively had that half price Airtrain for the last couple years anyway with the free return for online bookings.
I may get in a visit or two but stuff all for my daily life and the other 90% of the state...
As everyone up here says, why cant he give us 50c petrol...we dont have public transport.

There is a minor difference - if you do a return journey within the allocated transfer time, on a go card you are only charged for one way (eg Cavil Ave - Broadbeach South - Cavil Ave). If you use a credit card, you will be charged for both directions (2x one way journeys).

My credit card was charged twice travelling A to B then C to B to A all within the allocated transfer time... I should have used my Go card instead!

Yes indeed, you might have saved 50c.

Yes indeed, you might have saved 50c.

An entire journey between Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast

An entire journey between Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast

That would have taken quite a little time.

OT but @AIRwin needs to try a lot harder if he wants to beat this bloke who did Sydney to Brisbane via public transport (assuming the XPT counts) for $5.50.
