Bernard Terminal is a small bus station in York Region, Ontario, Canada, located at 11000 Yonge Street. It is on the west side of a mall on the southeast corner of Bernard Avenue and Yonge Street in the town of Richmond Hill, Ontario, one city block north of Elgin Mills Road East.
It replaced the previous bus loop at the north end of the Richmond Heights Centre, that was used after the former Toronto Transit Commission loop was replaced by GO Transit Yonge ‘C’ Buses in the 1970s, until the late 1990s.
The bus terminal land, formerly owned by the Town of Richmond Hill, was conveyed to York Region in 2005, since the responsibility for public transit now belonged to the Region.
It presently serves York Region Transit (YRT) routes 81 (Inspiration), 83 (Trench), 86 (Weldrick-Newkirk), 98 (Yonge North), and 99 (Yonge South), plus the recently-launched Viva Blue service; previously other routes served this stop, including the 84A and 84C Oak Ridges route.
During the first and second stages of Viva’s launch (launched on September 4, 2005, and October 16, 2005, respectively), Bernard Terminal served as the northernmost last stop of the Viva Blue line. On November 20, 2005, the line was extended northward to Newmarket Bus Terminal, relegating Bernard to a large intermediate stop.
The terminal consists of a series of partially covered platforms, Viva kiosk and fenced off driveway.
