The Eight Mile Plains Busway Station, at Eight Mile Plains, is part of the South East Busway serviced by TransLink bus routes. It is currently the last station on the South East Busway, and is connected to the Springwood Bus Station by the Pacific Motorway used by Logan City Bus Service. It is in Zone 4 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.
This specific bus station furthers its diversity as it is enclosed by a number of major roads including Logan Road, Miles Platting Road, the Pacific Motorway and the Gateway Motorway. Prior to the Busway’s development, options to improve public transport services in the areas that were not serviced by rail were explored. Although light rail and heavy rail options were considered, it was decided that the flexibility of buses best suited the unique nature of Brisbane’s urban development. In June 1995, consultants McCormick Rankin were commissioned to develop a Busway Strategy for Brisbane.
