The South East Busway is a grade separated bus-only road running south from the Brisbane central business district to Eight Mile Plains in Queensland, Australia. The busway was completed to Woolloongabba in September 2000 and to Eight Mile Plains in April 2001. An extension of the busway to School Road at Rochedale was completed in 2014 with no additional busway stations. The maximum capacity of the busway is 18,000 commuters an hour during peak periods.^[1] The busway carries an estimated 70 million passengers annually.^[2]

The busway allows services to branch off along any part to service nearby suburbs. This has been described as the Quickway model of bus rapid transit.^[2]
