The Palaszczuk Government has announced they will soon roll out a new system where commuters will be able to use their contactless debit or credit cards, smart phones and smart watches to pay for trips on public transport.

In a conference this morning, Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the Palaszcuk Government will not leave regional Queensland behind, with current Go Card operators due to deliver the new system in 18 regional communities.

Mr Bailey said the new system would be an Australian first, building on proven technology used by millions in London.
