They are rolling out Translink in Mackay, but not Go Card? Why have different ticketing systems under the same brand.

Re: New 300 series for Mackay.
I submitted a feedback form suggesting that the routes should be numbered 800 to 810 so as to not conflict with the TransLink SEQ network. The current setup where the Cairns network conflicts with the Brisbane south network should not be made worse by conflicting with the Brisbane north network.

How would it conflict with urban routes?
NSW has 100-900 series for urban and then the same for Regional routes.

Was a bit odd seeing a TransLink sticker applied to a Mackay Transit urban bus last week - but that's the way of the future!
