The public transport information websites managed by TransLink and Queensland Rail are now more compatible with mobile phones.
Minister for Transport, Rachel Nolan said more than 100,000 people access TransLink’s main website from their mobile phone seeking public transport information and the two mobile websites had been designed for commuters with web-enabled mobile phones who wanted easy-to-read public transport information at their fingertips.
“Both sites are free and easy to use so commuters on the go have all the information they need to travel on trains, buses and river services,” Ms Nolan said.
New service downloads to mobiles
The TransLink mobile website included an improved mobile journey planner, timetables, service updates and disruptions, fares, information on go card top-up locations, favourite links and a feedback section.
“The new website is very easy to navigate, minimising clicks and allowing commuters to connect with TransLink via Twitter, under the ‘contact us’ section,” she said.
Ms Nolan said both the new TransLink and Queensland Rail mobile websites worked on most web-enabled mobile phones made in the last five years.
“Mapping and positioning technology will be incorporated into future upgrades of the TransLink mobile site,” she said.
TransLink had also made its main website more accessible for multicultural communities by translating important travel information.
“Comprehensive travel information is now available in Arabic, Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Serbian, Spanish and Vietnamese at the bottom of each web page of the TransLink site,” Ms Nolan said.
