  Via was honored to have Meaghan Scanlon MP join us to announce the recent extension to the Translink On Demand Service on Australia's Gold Coast alongside Via's Australia Partnerships Manager Timothy Harding. Minister Scanlon has been a champion of this service for its ability to bring efficient, equitable and cost effective access to transport services to members of the community on the Gold Coast. The program's new intermodal features are seamlessly connecting passengers to public transport options beyond just the Gold Coast area. Gold Coasters love it, with almost 200,000 rides taken so far.
