☆About transportation on the Gold Coast☆

If you are going from Brisbane Airport to Gold Coast, please read this☀️️🐨🇦🇺 ⚠️Air trains are sometimes suspended!? It's the only train that connects Brisbane Airport to Gold Coast, so I've never heard of it being suspended! I was told by a local person, but I was unlucky with the timing of the suspension... I ended up taking a taxi! ⚠️For information on delays and suspensions, we recommend "Google Maps Route Guide"! When the Air train is suspended, the transportation from Brisbane to Gold Coast will be bus or taxi. Buses are cheap but take a long time. Taxis are fast but expensive. Just because you can't use the train, your time and costs will change, so if you think about various scenarios in advance and make a note of them, you won't panic. ⚠️We recommend "DIDI" to arrange a taxi. DIDI was very easy to use! It's convenient to download it in advance and register your credit card! ⚠️Purchase a GO CARD! When riding the Air Train, Gold Coast trams, or buses, we recommend using a Suica-like card called a GO CARD! You can purchase a GO CARD at the station counter or at the Brisbane Airport Information Center. When purchasing a card, a $10 deposit is charged in addition to the charge fee. ⚠️How to ride the Gold Coast tram There are several machines on the station platform where you can touch your GO CARD. Just touch your card to the machine, then board the tram, and when you get off, touch the machine on the platform again! It was very easy! There are also machines on the platform where you can charge your GO CARD with money, as well as vending machines. ⚠️Can you return your GO CARD?! You can return your GO CARD at the station counter, and the remaining balance and deposit will be refunded!! This is a very convenient system for travelers. ⚠️However, there is something you should be aware of! When the Air Train is out of service, the counter at Brisbane Airport station is closed and you cannot return your GO CARD! You cannot return it at the airport information center either. This is probably a rare occurrence, but it's good to keep in mind. Please take a look at this information✨ #Transportation information #Australia #Gold Coast #AirTrain #GOCARD #Streetcar #DIDI
