 Inner Northern Busway
The Queensland Government's $333 million Inner Northern Busway (INB) is the second busway in the network to be built. The INB is the heart of Brisbane's busway network that spans the city and gives passengers a congestion-free ride on frequent and reliable services.
The INB runs from Queen Street in the city to the Royal Children's Hospital at Herston. The INB:
- improves travel times between the Queen Street Bus Station and Upper Roma Street -a reduction of up to nine minutes during normal traffic and up to 20 minutes in congested times
- improves bus connections between the central business district, and the western, northern and southern suburbs
- reduces inner city traffic congestion
- improves consistency and reliability of bus services - your bus journey will always take about the same time, as services are not influenced by traffic congestion
- features an underground turn facility, which will increase efficiency of bus operations
- improves integration with the Transit Centre and Roma Street station
- features a modern underground station in King George Square
- increases capacity for growth of future bus services in the city centre.
The busway stations are designed for safety, security and comfort.
All stations feature:
- full accessibility
- all-weather protection
- high-lux white lighting to improve visibility and security
- security cameras that are monitored at the state of the art Busways Operations Centre (BOC) at Woolloongabba 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- emergency telephones on all platforms, linked directly to the BOC.
The stations are serviced by an intelligent transport system that displays and announces information on bus arrivals, interchanging local buses and, if needed, emergency procedures.
