Promenade Terminal is aYork Region Transit (YRT) (which includesVivabus rapid transit services) terminal adjacent to the mall. It is in a fenced-off parking lot at 1 Promenade Circle, at the intersection of North Promenade and Centre Street. The City of Vaughan currently owns the property, which is leased to York Region for a nominal sum, with the responsibility for public transit now belonging to the Region.[10] The Promenade Terminal has service connecting toFinch andVaughan Metropolitan Centre subway stations.[11]
Unlike some other transit stations colocated with shopping malls, such asScarborough Centre, there is no direct pedestrian access between the Promenade shopping mall and the Promenade Terminal.[citation needed]
In the summer of 2005, Promenade Terminal was temporarily closed so that renovations could be made. Bus stops were temporarily moved just beyond the station to North Promenade and Centre Street. Reconstruction of the terminal included newly cemented platforms, modern and lit bus shelters, new and brighter lighting, and the installation of a Viva OneRide ticket machine. The project was completed over one month, with the station reopening in August 2005. More recently, a VivamultiRide machine has been added in the terminal to go along with theoneRide machine.[citation needed]
Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus routes also connect to this terminal.TheViva Orange stop is located just north of the terminal, in the median of Centre Street (along theHighway 7 Rapidway).
