In November 2012 the Authority was dissolved and re-absorbed back into the Department of Transport and Main Roads. Combining the former Authority and qConnect, it is now responsible for the co-ordination of public transport across the whole of Queensland.
History
TransInfo was a phone inquiry and timetable service established in August 1993 by Queensland Transport. It was found to be a very successful service, and in a 1997 research study 99% of surveyed transport users were either very or fairly satisfied with the service. After the success of TransInfo, TransLink was introduced by the Queensland Government in June 2003 as an agency within Queensland Transport replacing the former TransInfo service. With a $21.4 million budget TransLink was tasked with the job to introduce common fares, zones, concessions, ticket types and to start introducing a smartcard system from mid-2004. Prior to the TransLink's introduction, combined patronage for public transport services was only around 112 million trips per year.
Luton is less than 50km (30miles) north of the centre of London, with good links with the City and other parts of the country via the motorway network and the National Rail system. Luton is also home to London Luton Airport, one of the major feeder airports for London and the southeast. Luton is served by buses run by Arriva and other operators, and by a large number of taxis. As a Unitary Authority, Luton Borough Council is responsible for local highways and public transport in the Borough and the licensing of taxis.
Road
Luton is connected to the M1 motorway, and with the A6 and the A505.
The M1 connects with Luton at Junctions 10 and 11 to the south and west of the town, providing access to London and the North. A new junction is under construction at the northern edge of the town, this will be named Junction 11a and will link to the A5 just to the north of Dunstable (completion due early 2017). The A6 starts in the town and runs north to Bedford and the North West. It previously extended south to Barnet, but this section has been re-numbered the A1081. The A505 provides connections east to Hitchin, the A1(M) and East Anglia; and west to Dunstable and the A5. The A505 forms a southerly ring road around the town, with the A5228 providing a more direct northerly bypass with the A505.

Check out this LEGO enthusiast’s incredible replica buses
Growing up Kai Ang Bowes regularly took the bus with his mother as they didn’t have a car. Little did he know at the time that it was instilling a lifelong interest in marketing and transit.
The rides sparked a passion for building buses with LEGO. Over the years, Kai has built about 12 that he has constantly improved by adding extra details. Today, the LEGO buses not only resemble the real-life ones in their livery (paint scheme), but they also feature many of the decals and ads you would find on a real bus.

TransLink’s funding gap, explained
Metro Vancouver is experiencing record levels of population growth and overcrowding on transit. Yet, TransLink has no means to expand service. Instead, it faces a funding gap. TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn explains why and what it could mean for you.
We’re doing our part by starting to bridge this growing funding gap through a series of efficiency measures, totaling approximately $90 million annually. We’re taking these steps now, at a corporate level, to protect you, our customers, from any cuts to frontline transit services for as long as possible.

Your exclusive look inside the Mark V SkyTrain
Step inside the Mark V SkyTrain!
This five-car train has more space than ever, with wider aisles and walk-through carriages, allowing up to 25% more passengers onboard. New features include digital passenger information displays, increased standing area, and spacious flex areas with leaning pads and bike straps.
The Mark V SkyTrain will replace Mark I trains and prepare the network for future ridership demand.
These trains are a result of previous Investment Plans and help us in preparing our transit system for ridership growth. We need continued investments like these, to keep up with Metro Vancouver’s rapidly growing population.
