Station centrale d'autobus
Encyclopedia
Gare d'autocars de Montréal is a government-owned bus terminal
located in Montreal
, Quebec
, Canada
. It is the departure and arrival point for most inter-city buses. The station was formerly known as Station Centrale d'Autobus Montréal (Central Bus Station), and Terminus Voyageur before that, back when Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines
was the station's major tenant.
The station is connected to the Montreal Metro
system at the Berri-UQAM
Station. Buses connect Montreal with many cities, mostly in Quebec
, Ontario
, and New York
state.
This bus station is not to be confused with Terminus Centre-Ville
which is used for public transit buses from the South Shore
of Montreal, and Gare Centrale, which serves as the Via Rail
and Amtrak
train station and the terminus for two of the five Agence métropolitaine de transport
commuter train lines.
A new bus station is being constructed next to the current one, but delays with the project and the lack of a connection from the new station to the Berri-UQAM
metro station may keep the operators of the station in the old building.
