Brisbane Transit Centre

Australia

The Brisbane Transit Centre, at 151–171 Roma Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, was a long-distance bus station. It was closed and demolished in 2020 along with its three office towers. It was widely regarded as the ugliest building in Brisbane.

Opened in 1986, the Brisbane Transit Centre was between the Queensland Police Service headquarters and the Roma Street Parkland. The complex included a number of shops, cafes and restaurants, and two office towers. It also included the Travelodge Hotel which was positioned above the station, which opened in 1986. Access to the centre was from the ground floor on Roma Street or from the Roma Street Parkland. In March 2016, GPT sold its half share in the property to co-owner the Australian Prime Property Fund.

The coach terminal was located on the top floor of the Brisbane Transit Centre and used by:
