Regular users of the Gold Coast Light Rail, particularly full-fare paying adults, would be advised to use the ‘go card’ system, as it offers significant savings on ticket prices which will quickly add up over time.

All 19 stations on the Gold Coast Light Rail route will have ticket machines where passengers can purchase their ticket or ‘top-up’ their ‘go card’ (if you would like more information on the ‘go card’ ticketing system please visit Translink’s official website).

Ticket validators will also be available at all light rail stations to activate tickets. Passengers can simply touch on at the start of their journey and touch off at the end. Fares will be automatically deducted from the passenger’s card.
