The Honourable John Mickel
The go card website is now live Minister for Transport, Trade, Employment and Industrial Relations John Mickel announced today.
The website, which can be found at www.translink.com.au/go, contains detailed information about go card.
"The go card website allows people to get a good look at how the system works before they start using their go cards on TransLink services," Mr Mickel said.
"There are step by step instructions, answers to common questions details on pricing and even video footage of people using a go card.
"The video clips will be particularly useful to people who are a little concerned about the new system.
"The clips show people demonstrating how to use a go card on a bus or a train, step by step, close ups of what light to look for and what sound to listen for when you have touched on correctly.
"I would encourage anyone who is interested in seeing a go card in action to visit the website and have a look.
"It really is a very simple system to use."
Mr Mickel said the website would also soon be available for go card users to conduct online transactions like topping up their card balance, viewing transaction history and registering their cards.
"Ultimately the go card website will allow users to manage their go card account entirely online if they want," he said.
"Once the go card is launched in the region, people will be able to order their card, register their card, see their transaction history and top up their card balance, from any internet connection.
"go card and the website will bring unprecedented convenience to public transport users in South East Queensland."
Mr Mickel said the full range of services on the go card website would be available in the near future.
