Brisbane’s bus terminal at Roma street will be demolished in 2020 and moved underground as part of the state government’s Cross River Rail project.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey says Queenslanders are backing public transport, with a record 182 million trips taken across the south-east last financial year, with 19,000 people using the current Roma Street bus station each day.
Infrastructure Minister and Deputy Premier Jackie Trad says once Cross River Rail is operational, 36,000 passengers are expected to use Roma Street every day to transfer between buses and trains, taking hundreds of cars off the road and easing congestion.
