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:
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“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)
