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.

When I was at the Ritz with the publisher a few months ago, I did think, “Oh my God, I’m in the Ritz tearoom.” ... The person who was so happy to sit at the Woolworths counter is now sitting at the Ritz, listening to the harp, and wondering what tea to order.... [ellipsis in source] Am I awake?”
—Connie Porter (b. 1959)
“All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.”
