/ Viva The terminal was built by the Toronto Transit Commission in 1974, and was acquired by the Toronto Area Transportation Operating Authority in March 1977. An elevator and new platforms were added in mid-2005 to accommodate Viva bus rapid transit service, which

began operating on September 4, 2005. It is the southern terminus of the Viva Blue route. New shelters were added along the south platform to replace the smaller shelters to accommodate more passengers waiting for buses at the terminal. Platforms for GO Transit and York Region Transit remain unchanged until September 2012. The platform next to the station, formerly for GO Transit buses was rebuilt and lowered for Viva buses. Inside is a newsstand, washrooms and indoor Viva kiosks. A set of escalators connects to the Finch TTC station across the street. A set of covered stairs on the south side of the station also connects to Finch. The east of the platforms and next to the TTC east parking lot is a parking area for 13 standard buses (30–40 foot buses). Passenger pickups by taxis can be made from the taxi stand on the southeast side of the station next to Bishop Avenue, an off-street driveway.
