Separate as in a totally different road, with it's own verges, bridges, tunnels etc. The buses use these to bypass the worst of the traffic jams near the city centre, and then change to using normal streets when they get to the outer suburbs. If you look here http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-27.488516,153.03282&z=20&t=k&nmd=20100912 there is dual carriage way highway on the left, with 3-4 lanes each way, then on the right is a busway (with bus) - it's a single lane each way, just separated by a line. If you follow it north and south, you'll see that there are occasional connections to the other streets, but it's basically a private highway for buses.
