Queen Street bus station
- For Singapore, please go to Queen Street Bus Terminal.
The Queen Street Bus Station is Brisbane's main CBD bus terminus. It is located underneath the Myer Centre and Queen Street Mall.
Where other Australian cities in earlier decades invested in underground rail, Brisbane, Queensland, in an attempt to clear up city streets, invested in tunnels for its bus system.
Passengers wait for their buses behind automatic doors in an air-conditioned environment with advanced information displays.
Queen Street Bus Station is the terminus for many services using the South-East Busway. The bus station is divided into several platforms, originally named after Australian native animals, but now with letters and numbers as their names:
| Original platform names | Platform names | |
|---|---|---|
| Kangaroo and Platypus | → | A1 – A10 |
| Koala | → | B1 – B5 |
| Crocodile | → | C1 – C2 |
The Queen Street Bus Station has two portals for bus traffic to enter and leave the bus station. One is on Queen Street facing the northern end of Victoria Bridge, and the other on Albert Street facing King George Square. The Queen Street Bus Station will eventually connect to, and be supplemented by, the King George Square Busway Station, which is to be built, during 2006-2007, in the lower two levels of the King George Square Car Park.
