UQ Lakes bus boost

Improved bus services will be introduced at the UQ Lakes busway station, St Lucia campus from Monday, February 20.

TransLink has advised the University that route 29 will be upgraded with rapid connections to Boggo Road busway station (for train connections at Park Road) and Woolloongabba busway station (for Eastern bus services).

During university semesters, route 29 will run every five minutes during peak and every 10 minutes off-peak, Monday to Friday.

During summer semester and university holidays, route 29 will run every 10 minutes, Monday to Friday only.

During the first half of 2012 work will be underway to upgrade the UQ Lakes bus station.

The upgraded station will provide improved facilities for customers with an upgrade of the existing southern platform, a new northern platform, central bus layover for up to four buses and improved passenger waiting facilities.

From 20th February, a temporary ticket sales and information booth will be set up to assist with faster loading of buses. Translink will also provide additional staff on the ground to assist commuters during this busy time.

TransLink advises that it is working hard to deliver this critical piece of public transport infrastructure with as minimal disruption to staff and students as possible.

Please observe the signage during the construction. Staff and students are thanked for their patience during this project.
