Add article description


The Barrie Bus Terminal, also called the Barrie Transit Terminal or Barrie Bus Depot, is an intercity and municipal bus station in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. It serves as one of five hubs for the local Barrie Transit system as well as the city's stop on intercity bus routes operated by GO Transit, and Ontario Northland. The terminal was built in 1991 to replace the old terminal across the street built in 1956. The building also houses some administration offices for Barrie Transit.

Quick Facts General information, Location ...

On January 23, 2017, the Barrie City Council unanimously approved plans to turn the terminal building into a public market to attract tourists and residents to the city's waterfront.[1] Local bus services will continue to use the building as a hub with new platforms built closer to the street, but all intercity bus services will be relocated to the nearby Allandale Waterfront GO Station.[2] Construction of this project has yet to begin;[3] the new Allandale hub is expected to open in 2025.[4][5][6]
