Queen Street Bus Terminal (Chinese: 奎因街巴士终站), also known as the Ban San Bus Terminal, is a bus terminal in Singapore. It is an aging terminal located in a relatively inconvenient location due to changes in transport patterns around it. However, it has remained in its current location as it has become a centralised location for commuters travelling to Johor Bahru, Malaysia by public bus over time. This is largely in part due to SBS Transit Service 170, which operates out of the terminal (as it was the only public bus service, besides tour coaches, to operate into Malaysia for a period in the past). Today, beside it, there is also a bus terminal for the Singapore-Johore Express which goes across the Johor-Singapore Causeway to Johor Bahru.

Famous quotes containing the words queen, street, bus and/or terminal:
“We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
“I’d take the bus downtown with my mother, and the big thing was to sit at the counter and get an orange drink and a tuna sandwich on toast. I thought I was living large!... When I was at the Ritz with the publisher a few months ago, I did think, “Oh my God, I’m in the Ritz tearoom.” ... The person who was so happy to sit at the Woolworths counter is now sitting at the Ritz, listening to the harp, and wondering what tea to order.... [ellipsis in source] Am I awake?”
—Connie Porter (b. 1959)
“All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.”
