*Brampton Transit The terminal had renovations in the Summer of 2005 to add an elevator and new platforms to accommodate York Region Transit's new Viva bus rapid transit service, which started on September 4, 2005. It is the southern terminus of the Viva Blue line and the Viva Pink line. New shelters have been added along the south platform to replace the smaller shelters to accommodate more passengers waiting for buses at the terminal.
