The South East Queensland region is divided into 8 concentric [https://translink.com.au/tickets-and-fares/fares-and-zones "zones"] for fare purposes. All official public transport maps clearly mark the zones and zone boundaries. Zone 1 covers the CBD and inner city suburbs whilst zone 2 covers the outer suburbs. Your fare is determined by how many zones you travel through. Travelling between zones 2 and 3 will cost you the same as travelling between zones 7 and 8. Major destinations like shopping centres and busway stations are often used as zone boundaries. Stops that form part of the zone boundary are considered part of both zones.
