Cornell terminal

Integrated into the heart of the Cornell Centre community, the terminal is designed to connect and serve those who live and work in the Markham area and beyond. Strategically located near the eastern border of York Region and the western border of Durham Region, the terminal provides an accessible connection to local transit and essential infrastructure and institutions such as Markham Stouffville Hospital and Cornell Community Centre and Library.

The Cornell Bus Terminal enables transit access to York Region's rapid transit network, including 34 kilometres of completed bus rapidways that connect busy urban centres in Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Newmarket and the future Yonge North Subway Extension.

Catch your ride today at the Cornell Bus Terminal! Staff will be onsite on the first business day of service—Tuesday, September 6, to help direct riders and answer questions.
