The Union Station Bus Terminal is part of GO Transit's facilities at Union Station in downtown Toronto, which is the hub for GO Transit's commuter rail service. The bus terminal opened in 2003 to replace the on-street facility in front of the railway station, relieving the traffic congestion on Front Street, and to accommodate GO buses moved from the Toronto Coach Terminal. Facilities available are: ticket counter/machines, newsstand/snack bar, public washrooms and a heated waiting area. The bus terminal is located directly across Bay Street from the railway terminal, behind the Dominion Public Building on Front Street. Jaywalking between the stations has been prevented by the installation of a barrier in the central median of Bay Street with pedestrian and wheelchair access provided by an enclosed walkway above the street to railway platform 1 and the GO Transit concourse, however this is regularly ignored by jaywalkers. There is also direct stairway access to railway platforms 2, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B and 7A through the adjoining "teamway" under the railway tracks. The site of the Union Station Bus Terminal was once occupied by a small passenger depot and more recently former CP Express & Transport building. Most of the old structure was demolished with a dock door retained and limestone fascia stored.〔(CP Express Building Demolition - Union Station )〕 The bus terminal sees an average of 7,000 passengers on week days. ==Bus routes== One bus, the Hamilton Express, serves this terminal throughout the day, while other routes are connected to the rail corridors, with no bus service during the weekday peak hours, when the trains are in operation. Due to height restrictions within the terminal preventing the use of double-decker vehicles, all buses plying these routes are single-decker coach buses. ;Platform assignments: : 41 - Unloading : 42 - Hamilton Express via QEW (route 16)〔(Hamilton QEW GO Bus Schedule )〕 : 43 - Milton GO line corridor stations, Lisgar, Erindale, Streetsville 〔(Milton GO Train & Bus Schedule )〕 : 44 - Square One Bus Terminal : 45 - Richmond Hill GO line corridor stations 〔(Richmond Hill GO Train & Bus Schedule )〕 : 46 - Barrie GO line corridor stations/Newmarket Bus Terminal 〔(Barrie GO Train & Bus Schedule )〕 : 47 - Stouffville GO line corridor stations/Uxbridge〔(Stouffville GO Train & Bus Schedule )〕 and Georgetown/Brampton 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union Station Bus Terminal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
