Ipswich/Rosewood and Springfield train line customers are now able to use credit cards and smart devices to take the train as the rollout of the Palaszczuk Government’s $371 million Smart Ticketing project ramps up.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the next phase of game changing technology rollout begins today (August 22).
“Once fully rolled out the Palaszczuk Government’s $371 million Smart Ticketing system will cover the largest geographical area of any ticketing system in the world, and be able to adapt to future growth and technology,” Mr Bailey said.
“The system will allow commuters to tap onto buses, trains, trams and Translink supported ferries using contactless debit and credit cards, smartphones and smart watches.”
Member for Ipswich Jennifer Howard said she was excited to see Ipswich commuters offered a new way to pay for their train trips.
“From what I’ve heard, the trial on the Ferny Grove line has been a big success and well received by commuters, so I can’t wait to see it come to the Ipswich/Rosewood line later this month,” Ms Howard said.
