Is this the only route to leave the busway and rejoin it?

[STB]

Or does it rejoin the Busway?  Or could it perhaps simply stop outside the Busway station along the main road?  Note that there isn't a platform number given.

If it does indeed, it'd be a first I guess.  Unless you count all the Cultural Centre routes that terminate there prior to the INB (King George Square/Roma Street) section opened up.

[ButFli]

Yes. After reviewing Google Earth I see there isn't really a way to get on the busway heading South at Eight Mile Plains and pass through the station there. Also I had assumed that the bus would need to travel on the motorway for a bit but this isn't the case.

So I agree the 299 will most likely stop on the main road and not at the platform.

FYI, I'll be jumping on the first Route 299 on Monday morning. I've got to get to uni to submit some work anyway, so it'll be on my way.  Will see how it goes.
