The Winnipeg Bus Terminal is an intercity bus station, located beside the Winnipeg International Airport in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The terminal moved there in August 2009 from its downtown location at Portage Avenue and Balmoral Street, where it had been for 45 years. The new terminal is a single story structure with separate areas for freight and passengers.
The terminal is a hub for Greyhound, with buses originating from and travelling to Vancouver; Edmonton; Toronto; and Fargo, North Dakota.
The previous terminal building was built in 1964 and covers 38,000 square feet (3,500 m2). It shares space with a hotel and apartment complex.
Famous quotes containing the words bus and/or terminal:
“Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach me at a bus stop and murmur “Thou still unravished bride of quietness,” then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
