Southport Station (Gold Coast)


There are sixteen stations in the G:link, a light rail system serving the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The system consists of a single 13-kilometre (8 mi) line that opened with sixteen initial stations on 20 July 2014. It is operated under contract by Keolis Downer and funded jointly by local, state and federal governments. The system's average daily ridership is 21,000 as of February 2016.

Seven stations are located in Southport, one is in Main Beach, six are in Surfers Paradise, and two are in Broadbeach. TransLink charges fares that increase as passengers travel through eight concentric zones radiating outward from the Brisbane central business district; all of the stations are located within zone 5. Fifteen of the stations are street-level open-air structures featuring passenger canopies, and one is underground. Ten stations have side platforms and six have an island platform. It takes 33 minutes to travel from one end of the line to the other. Eight of the stations have kiosks, six stations offer transfers to TransLink bus services and none have park and ride lots. Gold Coast University Hospital is the northern terminus of the system, while Broadbeach South is the southern terminus. The most heavily trafficked station is Cavill Avenue, with an average 4,729 daily passengers in February 2016.
