Services
The Queen Street Bus Station serves as the terminus of many routes servicing the South East Busway, Southern and Eastern Suburbs and the Centenary / Indooroopilly / Kenmore corridor.
As of 2009, no Northern Busway services directly connect King George Square busway station with the Queen Street Bus Station. After stopping at King George Square, a number of inbound services bypass the Queen Street Bus Station and stop or terminate at the Cultural Centre on the southern side of the Brisbane River, and vice versa. However, King George Square Busway Station and the Queen Street Bus Station are only a short walking distance apart.
The Station is divided into several platforms originally named after Australian native animals, but now identified by letters and numbers:
| Original platform names |
Platforms | Services (as at 2009) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kangaroo and Platypus | → | A1 – A10 | Southern and Eastern Suburbs, South-East Busway |
| Koala | → | B1 – B5 | Centenary / Indooroopilly / Kenmore Corridor |
| Crocodile | → | C1 – C2 | Mt Gravatt and Holland Park services, South-East Busway |

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
