A bus driver charged after a Brisbane CBD crash in which an 18-year-old woman died has been abused while leaving court.

Police allege Lindsay Francis Selby, 70, was driving a bus along Edward Street, in Brisbane, at about 5pm on March 8 when he mounted the kerb hitting Tia Cameron, 18, before pinning her against a building.

Ms Cameron, an administration worker, died at the scene while four bus passengers were treated for minor injuries.

The 70-year-old man faced Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday charged with one count of careless driving causing death.

Emotions boiled over as Selby appeared in court for the first time since the peak-hour crash.

Magistrate Ross Mack pushed Selby's mention on Wednesday back half an hour as a large group of Ms Cameron's supporters arrived in court for the matter.

The courtroom was packed, with many forced to stand when Selby appeared, including the victim's many supporters who were wearing T-shirts bearing Ms Cameron's picture.

Ms Cameron's partner Hayden McKinlay glared at a seated Selby as he stood near him in the court room.

The 18-year-old's supporters were angered when Magistrate Mack adjourned the case within minutes to allow the forensic crash report to be finalised and handed to the defence. 

'F---ing kidding me,' one supporter said, according to the Courier Mail.

'We have to be dragged through it all over again,' another said.

One supporter was heard calling Selby a 'f***ing f***wit'.

Magistrate Mack told Ms Cameron's supporters to be thankful they were allowed into the court room and to let the case run its course.

'Don't try it. I've given you the courtesy of letting you in, just let it run its course,' Magistrate Mack said.

Selby was verbally abused by supporters - some of who had to be restrained by others - as he left the courtroom.

Magistrate Mack asked whether security was required, however Selby's defence lawyer Claire McGee, declined the offer. 

 Selby's supporters shielded him as he exited.

The 70-year-old was insulted again as he left the building, with the victim's supporters following him down the street.

Selby did not enter a plea during his brief mention.

The court heard a forensic crash report was still being prepared and not expected to be tabled until August 21.

His matter was then adjourned until September 4.

Friends and family mourned Ms Cameron's tragic death during an emotional funeral service at Brisbane's Hillsong Theatre on March 14.

Those in attendance heard that Ms Cameron had always wanted to be a mum, to travel the world and to buy a home with her partner Mr McKinlay.

A powerful tribute read on behalf of Mr Mckinlay spoke of their love and future plans together, revealing the last words they spoke to each other were 'I love you'.
