The G: LinkThe G has arrived

The long awaited and highly anticipated Gold Coast Light Rail is finally operating and it's very exciting to see our very first "trams" running around our fare city.

Born out of a growing necessity to service our locals, tourists and growing student population, The G is a welcome addition to our thriving city.

There are 16 stations between Griffith University and Broadbeach with a round trip costing just $4.14 on your Go Card or $3.32 off peak. Fairs are higher if you don't have a Go Card at $6.10.
