Head of TransLink, Matthew Longland, said from January 7 2019 regional bus fares would increase by 1.8 per cent, which in many instances will mean little or no change to fares.
“Since the State Government’s fare freeze, this is only the second increase to regional fares in the last six years,” Mr Longland said. “Because fares are only increased in increments of 10c, for many of the lower fares, a 1.8 per cent increase won’t trigger an increase and these fares will remain the same.
A 1 and 2 zone adult single journey in Rockhampton will remain at $2.30 and $2.70 respectively, while fares for zones 3 to 10 (inclusive) will increase by 10 cents, and zones 11 and up will increase by 20 cents.
Below is the fare schedule from 7 January 2019 relating to services in Yeppoon, Rockhampton, Gracemere and Mount Morgan.
