Commuter advocates say today's rise of 7.5 per cent in Translink fares in south-east Queensland is too much and will further drive people away from using public transport.

Rail Back on Track spokesman Robert Dow says today's fares rise on Translink bus, train and ferry fares follows increases of 20 per cent in 2010, and 15 per cent in 2011 and 2012.

"Over that period, real wages have gone up 6 per cent according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics," he said.

"It's little wonder that people are feeling the pain."

He wants the State Government to review the fare structure.

"We think it's time that the prices in south-east Queensland were completely reviewed," he said.

"Fares on the country bus network throughout Queensland are about half what they are in south-east Queensland, which will give you some idea of the impact of the fare increases over the past four years.

"It's too much, it's too quick and it's driving people away from public transport."
