The City of Mississauga unveiled the newly-upgraded City Centre Transit Terminal (CCTT) facility Oct. 15 that serves 900 buses daily.

In Feb. 2020, the CCTT underwent an interior renovation to transform the downtown Mississauga hub to allow for improved accessibility and services for MiWay customers.

“Our City Centre Transit Terminal is the busiest MiWay bus terminal in our downtown, serving over 40,000 customers per day and offering key connections to other regional transit systems,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie in a statement.

“Ensuring it is a modern, convenient and accessible space, reinforces our commitment to building a transit-oriented city -- reducing our reliance on cars and making transit a real choice for residents and commuters. On behalf of Council, I’m pleased to reopen this new and improved facility that will make transit more attractive and better serve all passengers.”

Built in 1996, the CCTT is located just north of Square One in downtown Mississauga. Some of the new terminal features include:

• Wider escalators

• New elevator

• New flooring

• Way-finding signage and digital screens that show real-time bus departure times

• Sliding doors at the South and North entrances for improved accessibility

• New Information and Fares Booths

• New PRESTO self-serve reload machines inside and outside of the building

• Updated ventilation and lighting

“Over 900 buses pass through this terminal every day, connecting riders to destinations inside and outside of Mississauga. As a station along the Mississauga Transitway, it facilitates connections with GO and Brampton Transit buses and, in the future, with Hurontario Light Rail Transit service,” said Geoff Marinoff, Director of Transit.
