The go card is an electronic smartcard ticketing system developed by Cubic Corporation, which is currently used on the Translink public transport network (trains, buses, light rail, ferries) in South East Queensland, Australia. To use the go card, users hold the card less than 10 cm away from the reader to "touch on" before starting a journey, and must do the same to "touch off" the service at the end of the journey. The cost of each journey is deducted from the go card balance.
The Queensland Government awarded the $134 million contract to design, build, operate and maintain the go card system to Cubic Corporation in July 2003. In July 2006, TransLink signed up around 1,000 volunteers to trial the new smartcard system in the Redcliffe area. The go card was launched throughout Brisbane in February 2008, the go card was available at selected retail stores and Queensland Rail stations. It could also be accessed by phone or online.[1][2][3] As of March 2024, it was revealed that the go card would be retired in the 2029-2030 financial year once contactless payments have been fully rolled out on public transport in Queensland.
