On your journey, there are some healthy active transport options, for example cycling.
Active transport benefits
*It’s a convenient and practical way to incorporate(并入) regular exercise into your day.
*Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.
*The cost of buying and maintaining a bicycle is around 1% of the cost of buying and maintaining a car.
*It provides an opportunity to socialize with people in your local community.
*Cycling provides commuters(通勤者) with economical and efficient access to public transport services. On average, 10 times more households are within cycling distance of public transport than they are within walking distance.
Taking your bike on the train
You can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times:
*7 a. m. -9: 30 a. m. towards the CBD (Central Business District);
*3 p. m. -6: 30 p. m. outwards from the CBD;
*at any time during weekends and public holidays.
Note: You can travel in the opposite direction during the specified peak times above.
To avoid travelling during peak times, you must complete your morning journey by 7 a. m. towards the CBD and afternoon journey by 3 p. m. outwards from the CBD.
During peak hours, bikes cannot be brought through Fortitude Valley, Central or Roma Street stations. If you travel with a bike during peak times, you may be asked to leave the train until peak time ends.
Bike storage facilities
Bike facilities offer greater flexibility as you can cycle to a station and securely park your bike before continuing your journey on public transport. Queensland Rail and the City of Gold Coast also offer a number of bicycle storage facilities across our network. You can book a bike locker by emailing us at bikelockerqueries@ translink. com. au.
