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:
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“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)
