But,for now at least,concession cardholders and students will not be included in the trial.
Go Cards will still be accepted,but passengers will also have the option to tap on and off with their smartphones and watches,along with Mastercard,Visa and American Express cards.
During the trial period,the new methods of payment would only apply to adult trips. Down the track,eligible users would have to set up an account linked to their payment method to get concessional discounts.
Passengers leaving the Ferny Grove line,or going beyond Central Station,will still need to use their Go Cards.
Queensland Transport Minister Mark Bailey said,once fully rolled out,the system would be in place across the state,making it the largest such integrated system in the world.
But he said there was still a lot of work to do before that boast became reality.
