History
Opened1951[2]
RebuiltDecember 8, 2011
The former Central Bus Station located at 505 De Maisonneuve Boulevard East.

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 Montreal Central Station, which serves as the Via Rail and Amtrak train station and the terminus for three of the six Exo commuter train lines.

The new bus station opened on Thursday December 8, 2011, at the corner of Berri Street and Ontario Street. It is adjacent to the previous bus station which is located at the corner of Berri and De Maisonneuve Boulevard East.[3] The old station was formerly known as Station Centrale d'Autobus Montréal[4] (English: Montreal Central Bus Station), and Terminus Voyageur before that, back when Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines was the station's major tenant.
