Woolloongabba busway station is located in Brisbane, Australia, serving the suburb of Woolloongabba. It opened on 13 September 2000 when the first section of the South East Busway opened from Melbourne Street, South Brisbane, to coincide with the start of the 2000 Olympic football tournament for which some matches were held in Brisbane. It initially opened for outbound services only, with inbound services commencing on 23 October 2000. [1]

It is on a branch of the South East Busway, the next stations of which are Mater Hill or Buranda. It is served by 23 routes operated by Transport for Brisbane as part of the Translink network. [2]

It was proposed to build a railway station adjacent to the busway station, part of the abandoned BaT Tunnel project. [3] This project was revived as Cross River Rail, with Woolloongabba railway station due to open in 2026.
