As per the smart ticketing roll out map, Cubic have almost finished installing the static readers across SE QR Network. I assume that the gates will be upgraded or replaced next, to allow for testing of credit and debit cards. The new app can't be far away, neither can the new readers on buses and ferries.

Smart ticketing validators are now installed on the. airport line.

Eagle Junction too. Does this mean the ticketing gates there as well?

Apparently EJ has no gates anymore. It has been a long time since I have been in that new concourse area they built there. So all the validators will be stand alone validators at that station.

Brisbane Times----> No Go Card? No worries, as smartphone and bank card trial expands
Go Cards will no longer be needed on public transport for some south-east Queenslanders, with a trial of bank-card-based travel to extend to Brisbane’s north-west suburbs.

Considering BT buses (not sure on others) have two card readers at each door, not surprising.

Does this require a change to the DCU or just card readers? Any one got a pic of one?

More trials would begin next month and the government was “on track to have the system in place statewide by next year,” he said.
Delayed rollout, but new train lines coming online next month. No word on the bus rollout though.

TMR has activated Smart Ticketing on the Ipswich and Springfield lines today. People can now touch on and off with a physical or virtual Amex, Master or Visa card.

Buses and Ferries will follow at the end of the year
