English and Business courses in the heart of Brisbane

Public transport

Go cards

go card is TransLink’s electronic ticket to fast, easy and convenient travel.

Use go card on all TransLink bus, train (including Airtrain), ferry and tram services in greater Brisbane, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast, and Gold Coast regions.

The best part about go card is it’s:

  • cheaper than the cost of a paper ticket
  • convenient to manage
  • easy to top-up and use
  • available for adults, children, concessions, seniors.

Where to get a go card

You can buy a go card at these places:

  • 7-Eleven stores and selected retailers where you see the ‘buy’ symbol
  • Queensland Rail Station ticket offices
  • fare machines at busway stations
  • on board Brisbane City Council CityCat and Ferries.
  • Online 
  • Over the phone. Ph 13 12 30 (24 hour service)

How to use a go card

Using your go card is easy. All you need to remember is TOUCH ON …. TOUCH OFF.

Always remember to touch your go card flat onto the card reader at the beginning and end of your journey. Your go card will automatically calculate the correct fare.

The go card reader will display a green light with one beep for an adult card or an orange light with two beeps for a concession card.

When you touch on: the card reader will show the balance of travel credit stored on your go card.

When you touch off: the card reader will show the fare deducted and your remaining travel balance.

When touching on or off, there is no need to wait for the card reader balance display to clear from the previous passenger.

Buses

Card readers are located at the front and rear doors on buses.

  • Touch on at the front of the bus.
  • Touch off at either the front or rear door of the bus.

Trains

Card readers are located on station platforms and major stations have card readers attached to fare gates.

  • At fare gates, touch on as you enter the station or platform to begin your journey and touch off as you exit the station or platform at the end of your journey, even when the gates are open.
  • At card readers, touch on as you enter the station or platform to begin your journey and touch off as you exit the station or platform at the end of your journey.

Ferries

  • On the ferry you can touch on and touch off at any of the card readers located onboard – near the ticket seller and where you embark or disembark.
  • Card readers are activated at designated ferry stops only – you cannot touch on or touch off at a card reader while the ferry is in motion or between stops.

There is more information at the Translink website.

  • Be enrolled in and attending an AQF course at Cambridge Academy of English that is at least 12 weeks duration
