The cards used by public transport commuters in South East Queensland for well over a decade will be phased out and replaced with a new fare card system — but Translink is yet to determine when.

      Indeed, the whole go card system seems so archaic these days.

    Other than being a physical card, is there anything else wrong with them?

      Inability to use a digital wallet maybe? I wonder if the new card system would be able to integrate with Apple/Samsung/Google wallet. Easier to tap your phone then to pull a card out of your wallet or purse.

      This is all hypothetical for on my part, as I can’t use public transport to get to and from work, I hardly ever go shopping and the grocery store is only 30 minute walk, or 5 minute drive for me.

    I don’t get the whole rebrand every time the system is implemented. Why not say Go Card+ or something for the new version while the old cards phase out
