Transport fare evasion (QLD GOVERNMENT)
If you use public transport (e.g. train, bus, ferry) or private hire like a taxi, it is an offence if you:
Do not pay
try not to pay
do not pay your full fare
travel outside your allowed distance
do not have proof of your concession (if you are travelling as a concession holder).
You can be fined or have to appear in court. You could be sentenced to 6 months in prison.
Plan ahead
Make sure you always have enough money on your Swipe N Go or School N Go Card (or a valid ticket) before you travel.
