It is on a spur from the main trunk route, with inbound services joining the busway proper at Mater Hill. It is adjacent to the Gabba.
As part of the abandoned BaT Tunnel project, it was proposed to build a railway station adjacent to the busway station.[2] This has been revived as Cross River Rail, with Woolloongabba railway station due to open in 2024.
It is served by 23 routes operated by Transport for Brisbane as part of the Translink network.[3]
