The first day of Queensland Seniors Week, Saturday 15 August, is being dubbed ‘a Day of Solidarity between Generations’, especially fitting given the need for us to remain connected and look out for each other.
By retaining the 'One, two, free for seniors and pensioners’ will enable seniors who use their Go Card to travel free for the rest of the day after two journeys.
Today most Queenslanders can expect to live into their eighties and some beyond. Longer life provides the opportunity to reconsider not only what older age might be but how our whole lives might unfold.
Seniors are among the most reliant on public transport to get around including travel to the social opportunities that add to their quality of life, medical appointments and visiting family.
