Qld seniors have one card to go
Seniors travelling in south-east Queensland can now use one card instead of two with the launch of a newly combined Seniors Card and go card.
Transport Minister, Rachel Nolan, has launched the new combined card which has a Seniors Card on one side and TransLink’s go card on the other.
“The new convenient, double-sided card is free, easy to get and easy to use, with all the usual savings available with the current Seniors Card,” Ms Nolan said.
“Seniors Card +go gives seniors access to concession fares and off-peak discounts on public transport services, with the option to carry one card instead of two, and they don’t have to pay a go card deposit.
Ms Nolan said the Seniors Card +go is an optional upgrade for new applicants, and existing Seniors Card holders can also convert to the combined card.
“Smart Service Queensland (SSQ) will receive and process all applications for new and replacement cards and successful applicants will receive their card by mail within five working days.”
