Translink FAIL at Ekka ticket queue chaos [Courier Mail]
I have a GoCard because I have to travel between Uq and my place every time and I don't have the luxury of owning a car or even a bike, so public transport is a major necessity.for me. But on the other hand, every time for example if I forgot to top up my GoCard, I have to go through the annoyance caused by the ticketing system on buses and trains. This situation now has multiplied by hundreds of people queuing up at Ekka playgrounds where people who don't carry or own a GoCard have to buy a single ticket and ANOTHER ticket to return home, which completely took away the fun of Ekka. Now Translink has to change the rule for the single ticket where in this period travellers to Ekka doesn't need to buy another ticket back home, and that means the 2 hour period was waived, for the moment. Brisbane transport has to do some re-considerations regarding this issue.
