Qld to introduce new public transport body

South-east Queensland will have a new body to oversee public transport from July.

Queensland Parliament passed laws last night creating a new and independent TransLink Transit Authority to replace the existing TransLink.

Transport Minister John Mickel says it will be charged with improving service integration and will draw on models from London, New York and Paris.

"It's not meant to replicate any of those, it's meant to replicate a Queensland solution," he said.
