The Eight Mile Plains Busway Station, at Eight Mile Plains, is part of the South-East Busway serviced by TransLink bus routes. It is the last station on the South-East Busway, and is connected to the Springwood Bus Station by transit lanes on the Pacific Motorway used by Logan City Bus Service. It is in Zone 4 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.

This specific bus station furthers its diversity as it is enclosed by a number of major roads including, Logan Road, Miles Platting Road, the South East Freeway and the Gateway Arterial Road. Prior to the Busway’s development, options to improve public transport services in the areas that were not serviced by rail were explored. Although light rail and heavy rail options were in consideration, it was decided that the flexibility of buses best suited the unique nature of Brisbane’s urban development. In June 1995, consultants McCormick Rankin were commissioned to develop a Busway Strategy for Brisbane. More than eleven years on, the Busway’s occupancy has flourished in numbers as the public begin to acknowledge its efficiency.
