Garden City Busway

Garden City Busway is the biggest bus interchange on the south side of Brisbane — or maybe it’s the second biggest after the Cultural Centre.
If you accidentally board the wrong bus on the south side, fear not. It will eventually stop at Garden City where you can turn around and find the correct bus.
For city commuters, Bus 160, Bus 111 and the Logan Bus 555 will take about fifteen minutes from Garden City with only about five stops along the Busway.
Bus 150 is relatively faster as it only stops once at Griffith before going straight through to Mater Hospital, South Bank, Cultural Centre and City. I’ve seen a lot of people get caught up by this one and shout at the bus driver for not stopping along the busway in between.
Bus 156 Stretton Rocket is the fastest as it goes directly from Garden City to the City.
There is a Park’n’ Ride carpark at Garden City but unless you arrive before 7pm in the morning, it’s pretty full up. Plus it’s at the bottom of a hill so it’s a steep trek to make it to the busway. I wouldn’t test my luck driving around Garden City looking for a car park before 9am. There are often security guards out and a lot of the car parks are locked.
If you do need to park your car, at the crest of Macgregor Street, cross over the bridge and there’s usually some street parking available here.
