Roma Street station is an open air station, similar to the Cultural Centre station. It is set to become the transport hub of Brisbane’s CBD, providing passengers with access to thousands of daily bus and train services, intra and interstate rail services and long distance coach services. Passengers can access the station via the Roma Street subway, inside the Roma Street Transit Centre or from the Roma Street Parklands. The busway platforms at Roma Street are located next to the rail platforms to make transferring between services easier. Platform 1 is for bus services heading north and west. Platform 2 is for bus services heading south and east. Rail services operate from platforms 2 to 10. Platforms can be accessed from the subway via lifts, stairs and travellators. Thirty bus routes will use this station, providing 1,600 services each weekday and connections to more than 500 train services:
As with most other busway stations, passengers are required to hail the bus from the lead stop position on each platform. Electronic passenger information signs advise passengers when buses are due to arrive. All passengers should enter the bus from the front door only, and should never cross the busway or rail tracks (fines apply). If passengers need to access other busway or rail platforms, they can do so via the subway. Passengers can also plan their journey using the TransLink information touch screens located in the Roma Street subway.
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. |
