context_page_description: In Queensland, Australia, public bus services are coordinated by the Queensland Government's Department of Transport and Main Roads and provided by over 1000 operators. The coordination of public bus transport generally falls under three schemes: TransLink services, QConnect services and the remaining rural/regional school services. Some operators also provide entirely private bus services in Queensland which are not subject to the same route and ticketing regulation as the public route providers, or segments thereof, are.
context_section_description: TransLink, a division of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, coordinates the provision all urban and some school bus services across South East Queensland. Responsibility for the actual operation of bus services rests with 17 subcontracted bus service providers, such as Brisbane Transport, each allocated a specific contract area within the region and which operate services pursuant to TransLink's timetabling and integrated ticketing system that uses contactless smartcards known as the go card.
  TransLink also oversees Queensland Rail suburban trains and Transdev Brisbane Ferries on the Brisbane River to enable an integrated public transport system for the region.
