Amazing lile this travel using the tram. My mum studied at Griffith University Gold Coast Campus. 😊🌞👍💪🎊

[@AquariusTraveller]

Wow, amazing travelling from Bris bane to Gold Coast on the tram. Did you get of the tram at Helensvale Train station?

[@AquariusTraveller]

Yes, Hard Rail Train to Helensvale, then a quick 100 or 200 metres walk up and down stairs to the Tram Platform, and that take you direct to Surfers Paradise

Very informative, thanks for sharing

[@AquariusTraveller]

Your welcome... thanks for watching 😁👍

[@par-zs1ky]

Any links for the less abled? Seems to be many walks and stairs.

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@par-zs1ky I've seen translink make a big effort for lifts, escalators and ramps for wheelchairs, but I'm not really an accessibility expert to comment, and its probably best to check the translink website or give them a call to find your specific needs.

How long did you travel using the tram from Brisbane to Gold Coast?😊🌞👍💪🎊

[@AquariusTraveller]

All up it was 2 hours from Brisbane Central to Surfers Paradise - Thats Train and Connecting to Tram. But it was only 5 to 10 minutes at Helensvale on the transfer

[@Razoreagle91]

I’m going to Surfer’s Paradise in a few weeks and flying into Brisbane from the States. I plan on using the tram while in Surfers. Would it be worth it to get a go card once get there?

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@Razoreagle91 direct from brisbane airport to surfers you can use your credit card to tap on and off. Personally, I like the gocard to track how much I'm using but you could do this with your statement too. However, would depend on how long you're staying in surfers and other stations you'll be using. Credit card option is not available on all buses yet, so anything south of broadbeach or going to main beach will need a gocard. If you want a gocard, you can purchase the adult tickets from the machines at most stations

[@Razoreagle91]

@@AquariusTraveller Can you buy a Go card at the Airport?

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@Razoreagle91 yes, you can buy a gocard from the airport.

[@JavandeshSingh]

can we use trams without go cards?

[@AquariusTraveller]

The tram on the Gold Coast was fitted with smart ticketing and you could use a credit card for an adult fare.

My family will visit me on 12th August. They’ll stay in brisbane for 2 nights. From August 5th, fees are going to be just 50 cents. What do you recommend for them to go around Brisbane and day trip to Gild Coast. Just buying a go-card? Is there another way we can get a cheaper option? No paper tickets anymore? Thanks!!

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@masa-fu4pk if they use the major stations like Brisbane Central, helensvale and surfers paradise, then you can just use a credit card (which is the same cost as a gocard). There are still paper tickets and you can get them at the manned stations and the big ticket machines at train station, although not sure how the new fare system will charge with paper ones

[@masa-fu4pk]

@@AquariusTraveller Alright, thanks for your quick response!! Gonna check other videos on your channel so that we can make the most of it in Brisbane!

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@masa-fu4pk I hope you have a lovely time with your family 😀
