# Cultural Centre busway station

Cultural Centre busway station is located in Brisbane, Australia serving the South Bank precinct. It is located directly south of Victoria Bridge and close to South Brisbane railway station.
The station takes its name from its location within the Queensland Cultural Centre precinct. The platforms are accessible from the pedestrian bridge linking the Queensland Performing Arts Centre to the Queensland Museum and Queensland Art Gallery. The station is also close to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, South Bank Piazza and the western end of the South Bank Parklands.
At peak times 385 buses approach the station.

## History

Cultural Centre busway station opened on 23 October 2000 when the South East Busway opened to Woolloongabba. When built, it only had one lane in each direction with no ability for buses to pass. In March 2003 work commenced to alleviate this with the platforms set back to allow for a passing lane in each direction. Some materials from the original station were reused in the construction of Capalaba bus station. The work was completed in October 2004.
A 10-metre long cicada sculpture was located at the station from 2004 to 2022. It was removed to make room for the Brisbane Metro works.

## Services

The station services buses to the southern suburbs and South East Busway as well as providing an alternative terminus to the Brisbane central business district for many bus services from northern suburbs including those operating via the Northern Busway. Many CityXpress and most BUZ routes pass through the station, providing convenient transfer to and from major servicing areas outside the city. It is served by 70 routes operated by Clarks Logan City Bus Service and Transport for Brisbane as part of the Translink network.

No Northern Busway services directly connect King George Square busway station with the Queen Street bus station.
