Services

The Cultural Centre Busway Station services buses to the southern suburbs and South East Busway as well as providing an alternative terminus to the Brisbane CBD for many bus services from northern suburbs including the Northern Busway. Many CityXpress and most of BUZ routes pass through the station, providing convenient transfer to and from major servicing areas outside the city.

Northern Busway services

No Northern Busway services directly connect King George Square Busway Station with the Queen Street Bus Station. After stopping at Cultural Centre Station, a number of Outbound (Northbound) services bypass the Queen Street Bus Station and stop at the King George Square on the northern side of the Brisbane River, and vice versa.

Facilities

A pedestrian bridge towards the south of the Cultural Centre Busway Station, which provide access to the platforms, connects the Queensland Performing Arts Centre with both the Queensland Museum and the Queensland Art Gallery. The elevated pedestrian bridge has three lifts - one lift is in front of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, another lift (for bus platform 1) is located in front of the Queensland Museum, and the third lift (for bus platform 2) is located in the centre of the street.

There is a giant-size model of a Cicada right outside Platform 2 of the station (possibly due to the Cultural Centre Busway Station being the bus stop for the museum).
