The South East Busway is a grade separated bus-only corridor running south from the Brisbane CBD to Eight Mile Plains, in South East Queensland. Service providers using the Busway operate under the TransLink system. The Busway was completed to Woolloongabba in September 2000 and to Eight Mile Plains in April 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Projects/Name/B/Busways.aspx )〕 An extension of the Busway to School Road at Rochedale was completed in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Queensland Government, Department of Transport and Main Roads )〕 ==History== Busways were considered as one of the options when the Queensland Government developed the 25 year Integrated Regional Transport Plan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Projects/Name/S/South-East-Queensland-Integrated-Regional-Transport-Plan-1997.aspx )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.roadtraffic-technology.com/projects/brisbane/ )〕 Other methods such as light and heavy rail were also considered. It was recommended that a network of busway corridors to complement the existing heavy rail network would suit best. Busways would allow buses to serve low-density communities and bypass peak hour congestion. Busway stations could be developed at key nodes to serve major activity centres and combining different routes would create high frequency services. In 1995, plans for a network of five busway corridors were conceived, linking with the rail network to improve public transport connectivity across the city. The busways would improve the operation of the bus fleet, reducing maintenance and running costs and maximizing the effectiveness of the region's investment in buses. In August 1996, the Queensland Government approved the South East Transit Project to manage the construction of both the northern section of the Pacific Motorway between Mount Gravatt and Logan City and a dedicated 2-lane, 2-way road for buses between Brisbane CBD and Eight Mile Plains. The first section of busway between the CBD and Woolloongabba was opened to services on 13 September 2000 to coincide with the first match in the 2000 Olympic Games Football Tournament in Brisbane. The second section of busway between Woolloongabba and Eight Mile Plains opened on 30 April 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South East Busway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
