QConnect

Hail'n'Ride bus stops are usually located in areas with low population or low projected passenger patronage. These stops generally feature no bus stop signage or infrastructure, and generally aren't wheelchair accessible. As with most qconnect routes, it is possible to hail a bus to stop anywhere along the bus route where it is safe to do so, so these stops are used as timing points for timetables.

Minimum boarding point bus stops are usually located in low population suburban areas, along outbound routes, or in space constrained locations. These stops generally feature bus stop signage, along with tactile ground surface indicators, and are wheelchair accessible. They do not feature bus shelters, seating or any other infrastructure.

Regular and intermediate bus stops are usually located in suburban or city areas with low-moderate passenger demand and moderate service frequency. These stops generally feature bus stop signage, tactile ground surface indicators, wheelchair accessibility and bus shelters and seating.

Premium bus stops are usually located near major attractions, such as public services, shopping centres and bus interchanges. These stops generally feature improved bus stop signage, tactile ground surface indicators, wheelchair accessibility and multiple seated shelters. They can also feature infrastructure such as rubbish bins, vending machines and CCTV.

Currently, all qconnect services are cash only and do not accept go card payments. Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads is currently in the testing phase of its Smart Ticketing Project. Once smart ticketing is rolled out, which is scheduled for the mid-late 2022, all qconnect services will be able to accept go card and credit cards, as well as being able to provide real-time bus tracking on the MyTranslink App and on third-party partners like Google Maps.[8]

Smart Ticketing, is currently being trialed in Bowen, Hervey Bay, Innisfail, Maryborough and North Stradbroke Island. However, cashless payment is not being accepted during the trial in these areas.
