Hundreds of complaints have been made over the past year in regards to bus drivers and the general public smoking at bus stops.

Queensland legislation was amended in 2016 to enforce a statewide ban on smoking within five metres of all public transport waiting points including bus stops, ferry terminals and taxi ranks.

Transport agency Translink says they have received over 80 complaints about bus drivers smoking illegally at bus stops, but states that disciplinary action is the responsibility of the council, and not Translink.
