York University is a York Region Transit (YRT) terminal on Ian Macdonald Boulevard near York Boulevard in York Commons, within the main Keele Campus of York University in Toronto, Canada.

On the Viva system, despite the fact that this terminal is geographically south of York Region, it is treated as if it were in York Region. Therefore, passengers can alight from a northbound RTV coming from Keele-Finch and Downsview Station Vivastations, and passengers can board a southbound RTV from this terminal. This policy is intended to allow transfers between Viva Orange and Viva Purple. The Toronto Transit Commission had expressed concern about this policy, as York University students have discovered they can board an empty Viva Orange bus instead of the 196 York University Rocket, which often runs over capacity. They came to a mutual decision that since the rider would have already paid TTC fare to get to Downsview Station, the TTC is not in a position to lose ridership fares.

When the Spadina subway line is extended to York University, Steeles Avenue and Vaughan Corporate Centre, the Viva Orange line will be combined with the Viva Purple line to provide full service across the line.
