Brisbane Public Transport: 20pc Fare Cut for Go Card Users

The Courier-Mail reports that there will be a 20 per cent cut in public transport fares in South-East Queensland if you use a Go Card. The new fares start on Monday August 4 2008, when most single fares will increase by 10 or 20c. This gives people a serious reason to try the Go Card - the current discount system is not really cheap compared to weekly or monthly tickets. But the new system offers a twenty per cent cut in all fares, a further 35 per cent cut for trips over 13 zones or more, and if you take ten journeys a week, all other journeys that week cost half price. When the new system starts I will put $50 on to a Go Card and see if that lasts as long as a $86.40 two zone monthly.

Brisbane Conferences: Creative Commons Conference Update

I was a little optimistic about what my new phone can do which means i have lots of video from the creative Commons Conference trapped on my phone till next week when my computer arrives at my new home. Seems that the three network will only handle around 4.5mb attachments for email sent from a prepaid Sony Ericsson K800i. This means i will have to adjust my technique to be able to send in video reports direct from the scene when things are happening.
