History

Station entrance with sign "Welcome to the Transperth Esplanade Busport"
The bus station was previously named Esplanade Busport.

Elizabeth Quay Bus Station was opened as City Busport on 30 November 1991 by Premier Carmen Lawrence.[1] It was renamed Esplanade Busport in September 2004.[2] On 31 January 2016, Esplanade Busport and Esplanade railway station were renamed to Elizabeth Quay Bus Station and Elizabeth Quay railway station. The renaming was controversial; the estimated cost was $700,000, at a time when the state government was running a significant budget deficit.[3]
