context_page_description: TransLink is the public transit agency for South East Queensland and regional Queensland. TransLink is part of the Department of Transport and Main Roads and was first introduced by the Queensland Government in June 2003 to orchestrate bus, ferry, rail and light rail services. TransLink works with Brisbane Airtrain, Brisbane Transport, Transdev, Queensland Rail and other operators to provide services. TransLink operates an integrated ticketing system and the go card smartcard system to allow the use of one ticket on multiple services.
  In July 2008, TransLink devolved from being a division of Queensland Transport to the more autonomous TransLink Transit Authority, before returning to management from the Department of Transport and Main Roads in November 2012. Combining the former Authority and qConnect, TransLink is now responsible for providing public transport services across the whole of Queensland.
context_section_description: TransLink uses zones to determine fares no matter which transit mode or route a passenger uses. In South East Queensland the zones are rings centred on the Brisbane CBD. The zone network stretches from Gympie (170 km north of Brisbane) to Coolangatta (100 km south of Brisbane), and from Helidon (80 km west of Brisbane) in the west to Moreton Bayside suburbs of Brisbane and Redland in the east.
  Originally there were 23 zones. On 19 December 2016, the number of zones was reduced to eight. At the same time, a new fare structure was introduced that included:
  Cheaper fares across all zones
  Off-peak discounts extended to 6am (from 3am)
  Free travel for seniors after 2 journeys each day and Concession Pensioner Card holders
  Free weekend travel on a child go card
  Half-price journeys after 8 in a week
  There are 11 zones in Cairns and 15 zones in Mackay.
