TransLink will introduce a new app mid-December that should inform travellers about capacity on the state’s public transport to improve social distancing.

As more people head back to the office, it’s becoming trickier to spread commuters out on public transport and this new app should enable them to see a forecast of available capacity  on all bus, tram, train and ferry services across south-east Queensland.

Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the tracker is one way to give people confidence that their next trip will be safe.
