Go Cards could be used to hire CityCycle bikes under an LNP government with the opposition spokesman for transport Scott Emerson saying they would be "happy" to look at it.

The Brisbane City Council put forward the proposal to Queensland Transport Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk in January but she rejected it saying taxpayers should not be called upon to prop up the "failing" scheme.

This morning Mr Emerson said an LNP government would be open to the idea and would consider entering negotiations with the council to integrate the Go Card and CityCycle.

‘‘Look we haven’t been approached by the Brisbane City Council but we are very happy to consider the idea,’’ he said.
