UQ Lakes Busway Station
By 2012, about 1.5 million passengers were using the bus stop each year, making it one of the top-5 busiest stops in Brisbane.
Originally opening with one platform, a second platform using the existing pathway was added 2008 in order to serve a route extension from West End.
A further expansion costing $3 million began construction in 2011 to cope with increased bus services. Opening in June 2012, the upgrade involved a turning lane upgrade, an increase from four to six stops, larger waiting areas, additional shelters and improved lighting.
In May 2015 the UQ St Lucia ferry wharf was relocated to a location near the UQ Lakes busway station.
It is served by seven routes all operated by Transport for Brisbane.
