Queensland go via was the toll payment system introduced by
Queensland Motorways as a part of
free-flow tolling. It replaced the previous E Toll system in
Queensland. The new system was introduced on 1 July 2009 and the "pay-on-the-spot" option was phased out on 22 July 2009, meaning cash was no longer a payment option, and stopping was no longer required. As drivers are no longer able to pay with cash, they need to choose one of the new methods of paying Queensland's toll roads, including Go Via tags, video/vehicle matching of licence plates and other methods. go via has one million tolling accounts and more than 1.8 million Linkt tags in use as of 2013. The go via network enables motorists to bypass
CBD traffic and use of three Brisbane motorways; the
Bruce Highway in the north, the
Pacific Motorway to the south and the
Ipswich Motorway to the west. There is also the LinktGo app for infrequent toll users but the phone app has higher charges compared to a physical e-tag device. On 16 May 2018, go via was replaced by Linkt. In January 2006, Transurban acquired Tollaust, who tolled and operated the
M2 Hills Motorway. Electronic tolling was introduced on the M2 and Tollaust continued to manage the Roam Express tolling for the M2 motorway. Roam Express was rebranded Linkt in 2017. As a result of Transurban obtaining full ownership of Interlink Roads and its
M5 South-West Motorway in October 2019, the E-way brand issued by Interlink Roads was also replaced by Linkt. ==Tolling types==
