The TransLink Transit Authority has introduced the new FlexiLink service to make it easier for less-mobile passengers to travel between Prince Charles Hospital and Westfield Chermside Shopping Centre. At Westfield Chermside bus station, passengers can transfer between 18 other TransLink services. The FlexiLink service uses maxi cabs provided by Black and White Cabs to drop passengers closer to their final destination inside the hospital grounds. The vehicle is wheelchair accessible and painted black with a 'FlexiLink' sign to distinguish it from other maxi cabs. How much does it cost? Passengers with a TransLink ticket valid for travel in zone 3 can use the Chermside FlexiLink service for no additional cost. So now you can travel to Westfield Chermside by bus and transfer onto FlexiLink services for free! Passengers without a valid TransLink ticket pay the FlexiLink driver a FlatFare of $2.30 each way (no concessions). Please note Tickets purchased from FlexiLink drivers are not valid for travel on other TransLink services. TransLink single, daily, off-peak daily, weekly and monthly tickets valid for travel in zone 3 will be accepted for travel on the FlexiLink service. Where do I catch it from? Passengers can catch the service from dedicated FlexiLink stops at Westfield Chermside, Prince Charles Hospital and Holy Spirit Northside Hospital. The Chermside FlexiLink service also operates as a hail n’ ride, which means passengers can access the service anywhere along the route where it is safe for the driver to stop. To hail the service, passengers should be in a position on the footpath where they can be clearly seen by the driver and wave their arm as the FlexiLink vehicle approaches. For more information download your copy of the Prince Charles Hospital public transport guide (PDF, 333KB) effective July 2007. FlexiLink services operate every 30 minutes, Monday to Friday.
