Gold Coast trams on the way!

The Gold Coast's new $1.2 billion light rail service is well underway and their sleek look is turning heads on the Coast. With the launch set for June, the trams are currently being tested on the 13km Parklands to Broadbeach track.

With some locals still not entirely convinced of their necessity on the Coast, Mayor Tom Tate is confident they provide an efficient and useful service to both locals and visitors. The tramline will run directly past Broadbeach allowing our guests access to the Northern end of the Coast.

13km light-rail network runs from Griffith University and Gold Coast University Hospital (Parklands) to Broadbeach.

14 trams in total, each 42m long and capable of carrying 309 passengers
16 tram stations.
Tram track traverses 52 intersections and crosses the Southport Broadwater over Sundale Bridge.
Trams will run from 4.39am-12.51am Sunday to Thursday and non-stop on Friday and Saturday.

Fares same as buses, about $4 one-way from Parklands to Broadbeach.
