A SOLUTION'S in sight for frustrated Tweed public transport users who are currently forced to use two different ticketing systems depending on which side of the border they travel on.

Tweed MP Geoff Provest said the issue was one he had raised with the cross border commissioner and transport minister and was pleased to announce a resolution was in the works.

"The Go Card and the Opal Card are run by Cubic (Corporation), which is the same company; and one of the issues we always face here are the cross-border anomalies, where basically it's two different ticketing systems,” Mr Provest said.

"There has been an old cross-border ticket but it's more expensive than most; and what we're seeking to do - and we've had discussions with Surfside (Buslines) - is to have one system for both sides of the border, so it will become seamless and the transport minister has committed to make that a reality.”

Mr Provest said the new Queensland-NSW Memorandum of Understanding, which he expected to be approved before 2017, would set targets for matters on such issues as transport, health and law and order. He said once that was in place, work could begin to find a solution.

Tweed Heads West resident Ray Biddle, who regularity uses public transport across both states, welcomed the announcement, saying it would save him money.

"Concession card holders suffer; so this (issue) is about buying a concession trip from, say, inside South Tweed Heads and then into Queensland,” Mr Biddle said. "It's all very well to do a bus change but then you have to buy another ticket; you can't buy a ticket to John Flynn Hospital, which in my case, that's where all the specialist advice is, not in the Tweed.

"So I have to get on a bus here at my house, get to Queensland and then buy another ticket.”

Mr Biddle said if he could buy a return ticket he would save money each journey, something he said all other pensioners in the region would also benefit from.

Mr Provest would not be drawn on when people might expect to see changes but wants users to know an end to their transport headaches is now in sight.
