Media Release 14 January 2011

SEQ:  Floods and free public transport, thank you!

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 thanked the Queensland Government and TransLink for implementing free public transport for the next eight days (1).  This will help the community in our general flood recovery.

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"Our sincere condolences to all who have experienced bereavement and loss during the floods."

"As a community we will recover.  The implementation of free public transport services in south-east Queensland for the next eight days will assist in reducing vehicle traffic on the damaged roads, allow time for citizens to obtain go cards that may have been lost. Another well considered show of support for a community in recovery."

"We would like to express our sincere appreciation for everyone who is contributing in the rescue and recovery effort.  Particularly our appreciation for all who drive buses, the train crews, the support staff of our public transport network and TransLink for keeping the wheels turning, often at some considerable personal stress. It is greatly appreciated, thank you."
