A program which provides seniors $2 cab fares to go shopping once a week is set to be expanded.
Council Cabs, which is operated by local not-for-profit TransitCare, is designed to help older people retain their independence and charges $2 each way.
The service will now visit more shopping centres and will now operate four days a week.
City infrastructure chair Teresa Lane said older people prized their independence more than anything else.
“The Council Cabs program allows them to do their errands without breaking the bank,” she said.
“It’s something that they really look forward to and council is pleased to be able to offer this service to the entire City of Logan.
“Not only does it connect older residents to their city, it ensures that their business stays local.”
The service operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays depending on the suburb.
Phone TransitCare on 1300 153 636 to book.
