The South East Busway is the first of a series of busway networks to be developed in South East Queensland. The first section of South East Busway between the CBD and Woolloongabba opened in September 2000 to coincide with the first match of the Olympic Games Football Tournament at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (The Gabba). The second section between Woolloongabba and Eight Mile Plains opened on 30 April 2001. An extension to Springwood is now being planned. View more information about the South East Busway extension. 
The South East Busway has won many awards for design, construction and service delivery:
"I believe that Brisbane is now at the leading edge in urban mass transit, and nowhere is this more evident than in the new busway development that you have created. In my many years of experience observing urban transit systems around the world, I have never been more impressed than during the three hours I spent viewing your busway system in operation. This is a development that I am sure will attract international attention for the level of quality and customer focus that you have incorporated. With your concurrence, I would like to showcase the Brisbane busway development through the extensive UITP communicative networks, to our 2000 UITP Members in 80 countries of the world. Once again, congratulations on this most innovative Project," Hans Rat, Secretary General, International Union of Public Transport. |
