go explore Card on the Gold Coast: $1.50 a Day for Buses and Trams, and When It Beats the 50 Cent Fare (QLD)

The go explore card is still sold. It gives a visitor unlimited travel on Translink buses and trams on the Gold Coast for $1.50 per day, which matters because the standard fare is now 50 cents per journey. That makes the pass cheaper only if you make four or more separate journeys in a day.
