Getting around the Gold Coast: trains, trams, buses, taxis and Uber

The Gold Coast's public transport network comprises buses, trains and trams. (The tram is known as G:Link, or Gold Coast Light Rail: it is a single 20-kilometer line of nineteen stations from Helensvale Station in the north to Broadbeach South in the south).

Alternatively, you might like to book a taxi or Uber to get to and from the conference venue from your accommodation.

To use public transport, you will need a 'Go Card'. You need to press your card on the Go Card reader when you both enter and exit the bus, train or tram. You can also use the Go Card on trains, buses and ferries in nearby Brisbane.
