qconnect was a network of integrated public passenger transport services that cover subsidised and/or regulated bus, coach and aviation networks in Regional Queensland, Australia.[2] It was introduced by the Queensland Government in December 2007, and is an agency operated by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). qconnect provides public transport services and greater connectivity and accessibility of services throughout regional, rural and remote Queensland by working with contracted transport operators.
qconnect was the regional counterpart for the Translink network operating across South East Queensland and some parts of Regional Queensland.
Throughout 2022 and 2023, regional bus operations were being transferred from qconnect and joined the wider Translink network. This occurred to create a more consistent and simplified public transport network in Queensland. On 16 January 2023, all regional networks will have been transferred to Translink, with the qconnect brand becoming defunct. [3]
