The Northern Busway connects communities in Brisbane's northern suburbs to Brisbane City, major shopping centres and workplaces.
When complete, the Northern Busway will be a vital link in the expanding busway network and will reduce travel times for people traveling to and from the following suburbs:
- Windsor
- Lutwyche
- Kedron
- Chermside
- Aspley
- Bracken Ridge.

Current benefits
- You can get to major destinations quickly including QUT Kelvin Grove, two major hospitals and Brisbane City.
- You can transfer to train services on the Cleveland, Beenleigh and the Gold Coast lines from Roma Street train station, which sits alongside Roma Street busway station.
Future benefits
- You could travel between the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital and Kedron in almost half the time.
- Less pollution, congestion and traffic noise in the area, particularly on Bowen Bridge, Lutwyche and Gympie Roads and nearby streets.
- Public transport that is more frequent, reliable, comfortable and easy to use.
- Better connections to where people live, work and play.
Why do we need it?
- Traffic congestion will get worse on Lutwyche and Gympie Roads as the population grows and more and more people need to get to work and school.
- Busways are their own dedicated road so buses aren't delayed by traffic congestion.
- It will encourage more people to use public transport if it’s quicker and easier than driving.
- It will take thousands of cars off the roads - for every full bus, there are 40 fewer cars on our roads.
