DRT is a flexible, shared service that is designed to make it easier for you to get around your local area where buses and trains aren't available.

To connect to your local transport hub, or key locations such as shopping centres and medical facilities any day of the week, simply pre-book a vehicle to pick you up near your home.

The service will then drop you off at specific DRT meeting points at key locations (see full list of locations). If you've also booked a return journey from the same location, you'll need to wait for your service at this meeting point.

Logan DRT operates daily:

  • Earliest pick-up is from 6am
  • Latest drop-off is by 10pm

Bookings outside of these hours can’t be accommodated. If you need to travel any earlier or later, you’ll need to find alternative transport options

  • All passengers must be registered for a DRT account before they can make a booking.
  • DRT vehicles will only carry passengers who have a pre-booked trip. You may not be permitted to board the service if you don’t have a booking.
  • There’s no minimum age limit to use or book a DRT service. Unaccompanied children will be allowed to use the DRT service at the discretion of the child’s guardian.
  • You’re able to book a trip for someone else, however the person travelling must be registered for the service.

Booking your service is easy:

Step 1: Register

You can set up an account by:

  • calling our delivery partner TransitCare on 1300 153 636

You only need to do this the first time you use the service.

If you have mobility needs, such as using a walking frame or a wheelchair, or have an assistance animal just tell us when you first register and the correct vehicle will be requested to pick you up every time you book.

Step 2: Book a trip

Making a booking by calling TransitCare on 1300 153 636 between 6am to 8pm, seven days a week.

If you need to travel between 6am and 8am, you'll need to call to book before 8pm the night before you travel. All other times you'll need to book at least two hours in advance. 

Don't forget to book your return trip as well - this can be booked at the same time. You can also book future recurring trips. 

Remember:

  • allow extra travel time if you need to connect to a train or bus service
  • bookings close two hours before travel, due to the shared nature of the service
  • when you book your trip, tell the call centre operator the time you need to arrive at your destination (not your pick up time)
  • as this is a shared service, you'll need to let the call centre operator know of any additional passengers (such as children or carers), luggage, prams or mobility aids that you need to travel with, to ensure that these can be accomodated in the vehicle.

Notifications

If you book your DRT trip on the same day you're travelling, you'll be told your pick up time over the phone when you make the booking. 

At this stage, no further notifications are planned. We'll let you know if this changes.

As this is a shared service, it’s essential you let us know if you need to cancel a booking.

To cancel your booking call TransitCare on 1300 153 636 as soon as you can before your booked travel time.

Cancellations can be made at any time up until your service is scheduled to arrive.

If you don’t let us know about your cancelled booking, you may be issued with a warning. Repeat offences may result in the cancellation of your account.

When using a Demand Responsive Transport service, you can only pay for your travel with cash or EFTPOS.  If you're paying with cash, please ensure that you have the correct change to give the driver. 

You'll be charged the same fare as you would when travelling on any Translink service. All public transport fares on Translink services in Queensland are a flat rate of 50 cents per journey, regardless of the distance travelled. 

If you connect with another public transport service, you'll need to pay the additional relevant fare, which is 50 cents per journey across the network. 

About concessions

50% concession fares no longer apply. Some customer groups and card holders receive free travel (providing they carry proof of their entitlement with them and show it to a driver or Authorised Person when asked).

Seatbelts and restraints

In addition to the conditions of travel, Logan DRT services have seatbelts and restraints, and you must always wear a fastened seatbelt.

If you’re aged 16 years and older and fail to wear a fastened seatbelt while travelling in a DRT vehicle, you may be fined and accumulate demerit points.

Children must be appropriately restrained for their age and size. Car seats are available upon request, so please let the contact centre know at the time of booking.

Drivers are responsible for ensuring passengers are wearing seatbelts or restrained if they’re:

  • aged between seven and 15 years
  • aged less than seven years, if a suitable child restraint is brought on board.

Drivers aren’t responsible for ensuring customers are wearing seatbelts if they’re:

  • aged 16 years or older
  • aged less than seven years and no suitable child restraint is brought on board – and the child isn’t in the front seat (if the vehicle has two or more rows of seats).

If you’ve left something on board please call TransitCare on 1300 153 636.

Feedback from the community was considered extensively in the planning and design of the Logan DRT. We consulted from May to July in 2017 to develop a service that best responded to community needs.

We're actively monitoring and evaluating the service to best respond to your needs. We'd love to hear your feedback.
