King George Square station is an underground station, similar to Queen Street bus station. It features ten individual bus stops across two platforms. Passengers can access the station via Ann, Roma or Adelaide Street entrances. Platform 1 is for services heading north and west. Platform 2 is for services heading south and east. Platforms can be accessed from the concourse levels via lifts, stairs and escalators. Ten bus routes use this station, providing 1,100 services each weekday: Unlike other busway stations, passengers are not required to hail the bus from the lead stop. Instead buses use dedicated bus stops along each platform. Electronic passenger information signs advise passengers when buses are due to arrive. Passengers wait in air-conditioned comfort behind glass doors, which open when the bus arrives at its designated stop. All passengers should enter the bus from the front door only, and should never cross the busway (fines apply). If passengers need to access the opposite platform, they can do so via the concourse level above. Passengers can also plan their journey using the TransLink information touch screens located on the Ann and Adelaide Street concourse levels. On the Ann Street concourse level, there is also a Transport Information Centre. Although a cycle centre is located within the station, bicycles are not permitted on the platforms. Pedestrian entry to the cycle centre is provided from the Ann Street concourse. Pre-paid platforms To improve boarding times and to provide faster bus services, the TransLink Transit Authority has introduced pre-paid platforms at King George Square station. Pre-paid platforms will operate each weekday between 3.30pm and 7pm. Passengers must have a valid TransLink ticket or go card to enter the platforms during these times. Passengers with go cards are still required to touch on and off using the go card readers located on each bus at the front and rear doors. View TransLink go card retailers. |
