When BrizCommuter used a weekly, he would shop in the city at least every 1 in 3 weekends. Now it's not even 1 in 10 weekends.BrizCommuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06579844974945172195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259450140022648201.post-91565056235738004002011-08-13T10:23:16.911+10:002011-08-13T10:23:16.911+10:00I wish there was a weekly GoCard option. I don'...I wish there was a weekly GoCard option. I don't have a car but I do need to do a lot of travelling throughout the week. When GoCards were first introduced and touted as (correct me if wrong)30% cheaper I kept using my weekly paper ticket until they were phased out because even at an increased price it still ended up a cheaper option for me. <br /><br />Also, with my old weekly ticket I would usually do a few extra trips every week because it was of course at no extra cost. This meant that I was out there spending that bit extra at Brisbane shops and services every week. I'm not saying I don't go out any more, far from it, but the price of travel does factor in and definitely does have me staying at home that little more often. If there are 100s or even 1000s of other residents in this category across Brisbane I'd imagine the net effect wouldn't be making a positive impact on the depressed state of the retail sector at the moment.<br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
