What is the Customer Charter?

We are licensed by the Public Transport Council to provide ticket payment services in the public transport system. This Charter informs our customers of the services that we provide, and the service standards that we are committed to.

What services do TransitLink provide?

We sell, top up, replace and refund all types of stored value travel cards at SimplyGo Ticket Offices and Ticketing Service Centres (TSC). We do this on behalf of EZ-Link, NETS and the public transport operators.

 

We also issue concession cards and sell Monthly Concession Passes on behalf of the public transport operators.

 

If a concession card is lost or damaged, a replacement can be made at any TSC. Replacements for Child Concession Cards can be made at either the TSC or Ticket Office. All defective concession cards will be replaced in accordance with the card manager’s terms and conditions.

What are TransitLink’s Service Principles?

We believe that our customers should always be able to:

 

  • Purchase, top up or replace their stored value travel cards (ez-link, NETS FlashPay or concession card) at SimplyGo Ticket Offices and TSCs during operating hours.
  • Top up their stored value travel cards at SimplyGo Kiosks during operating hours.
  • Replace their lost concession cards at SimplyGo Kiosks during operating hours.
  • Receive a refund for any valid excess fares paid for their trips. This includes excess fares charged due to faulty card readers.

If the wrong fare has been charged, a refund will be issued.
