Here's how to navigate Toronto's new Union Station bus terminal

The day has finally come for Toronto’s new bus terminal at Union Station after years of construction.

The new terminal is located just down the street from the existing one on the north-east corner of Bay Street and Lake Shore Boulevard, as part of the larger connected CIBC SQUARE development.

With the “art bus hub” set to open on December 5, it might be a little challenging to navigate for the first time.

According to Metrolinx, the new terminal has two levels with a total of 14 bus bays — twice as many as the current location.

It’s also all indoors and connects to the city’s PATH network, allowing GO and UP Express customers to move between bus and rail.

The old terminal will close its doors on December 4, meaning you won’t be able to access it this Saturday.

So, the quickest way to get to the new terminal is to head south along Bay Street to a sidewalk on the east side of the street, Scott Money, Metrolinx media relations senior advisor, said in a blog post.

If you’re wanting to get the GO bus at the new terminal from the west side of Bay Street, the quickest way is to go south along Bay, through the Bay West Teamway, and then into the Scotiabank Arena Galleria doors on the right.

Money says once you’re inside, you’ll see “two big escalators.” You need to take the escalator up and then cross the new pedestrian bridge.
