The Brisbane City Council bus hit the parked cars on Hamilton Road approaching the intersection with Gympie Road in Chermside about 6.15am.
Hamilton Road was closed in both directions between Farnell Street and Gympie Road and police were asking motorists to avoid the area.
The bus driver, a man in his 50s, was believed to have suffered a medical episode behind the wheel and was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a stable condition, according to the Queensland Ambulance Service.
Australian Traffic Network spokesman Jay Lane said drivers on Hamilton Road were getting around the accident scene thanks to diversions being in place.
He said the road was still busy but the crash was having more of an effect on Gympie Road traffic.
