Media Release 11 September 2009

SEQ:  Public transport performs

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport commuters has congratulated TransLink and public transport operators for the public transport arrangements for this weekend's events in Brisbane (1).

Robert Dow, spokesperson for RAIL Back On Track said:

"Riverfire is a great and important community celebration and is a very significant demand on transport services.  Public transport is well organised for the weekend events this year.  Extra buses and trains are laid on both for Riverfire and the football. There are no planned track closures."

"Congratulations to TransLink and all operators.  Well done!"

"For folks not used to the new ticket machines at railway stations, allow plenty of time to get your tickets.  Experience has shown that with the bigger crowds travelling there may be short delays in getting tickets particularly if folks are not familiar with the ticket machines.  Allow plenty of time is the best advice!"

"Relax and enjoy the weekend, travel by rail or bus to and from the City or the football.  This avoids hassles with parking, traffic congestion and road closures and is a safer way to go!"
