History
Cultural Centre busway station opened on 23 October 2000 when the South East Busway opened to Woolloongabba. When built, it only had one lane in each direction with no ability for buses to pass. In March 2003 work commenced to alleviate this with the platforms set back to allow for a passing lane in each direction. Some materials from the original station were reused in the construction of Capalaba bus station. The work was completed in October 2004.
A 10-metre long cicada sculpture was located at the station from 2004 to 2022. It was removed to make room for the Brisbane Metro works.

The station services buses to the southern suburbs and South East Busway as well as providing an alternative terminus to the Brisbane central business district for many bus services from northern suburbs including those operating via the Northern Busway.
