Mississauga City Centre Transit Terminal

Its a shame! for a City that boasts of so many things the bus terminal is a MAJOR disappointment. They are making announcements and standing outside you cant even hear a thing except some mumbo-​jumbo. So u might say– then stay inside. Have you seen the size of the indoor area? not to mention the one person only escalators (that are almost always under maintenance or not working). There are no coffee shops around to grab a bite or a coffee to start your day. Yeah there is a starbucks within walking distance but service there is so slow… i miss a Tims or a MC Donalds. They are there inside the dumb square one mall but mall only opens at 8 a.m. By that time I am already in my bus on way to work. Seriously! Ive seen WAY better bus stations in smaller cities of Canada — where all stops are properly indicated and you are indoorss 100% of the time rain or shine or snow storm. So you queue up at your gate and when the bus comes by, the gate opens and you board. Then they also have coffee shops and other eateries for the worker on the go!
Come on Mississauga ! you who boast of being a posh GTA area — YOU can do better!
Another disgusting observation is that Mississauga transit users have no manners — ppl keep their bags on the seat next to them and happily snooze off… and others have to stand! there is no courtesy that if there were others waiting at the bus stop before me… I should let them board first.

For any regular bus rider in Mississauga, you are here on the usual. This is the regular stop for connecting bus routes. Whether its taking the bus home or catching the first ride early in the morning to work.
This bus terminal is so convenient because of the amount of bus routes that reach here. All the routes here reach every part of Mississauga & then some. You have routes here that reach the subway, another route that reaches Etobicoke & the 502 ZUM bus that goes to shoppers world in Brampton. Not to mention the plenty amount of express routes that everyone at 8am & 4pm are trying to reach. This terminal here can get pretty jam packed during those rush hours. The bus shelter is big enough to hold a lot of people, although sometimes it feels like you’re rubbing off other people. The free wifi here recompenses for that though, so while I’m inside waiting for my bus route times displayed inside, I’m also on my phone wasting time. There’s security here & sometimes police officers just in case things go down, because stuff has gone down here before.
My advice to you is not to wait outside in the blistering cold while you’re waiting for your bus, wait inside! You can see the bus times inside the terminal. I don’t understand why you’re freezing you’re ass off. Oh & if you have to use the washroom, wait till’ you get home, washrooms are atrocious. I’m giving this terminal 3 stars because it’s my home town & I’m so used to coming here. Once you catch the drift, it’s a piece of cake.

As the central terminal for the sixth largest city in Canada, it does its job as needed. Buses generally flow in and out smoothly, and there are clearly marked crosswalks for those coming from the GO Transit side. Aside from the occasional jaywalker, it’s hard to jaywalk Rathburn Road anyway since it’s busy at almost all times.
One complaint I do have is the size of the terminal. Even with the expansion a few years back it’s still too small for the amount of bus traffic it gets. Some of the bays are shared amongst 4 or more routes, which gets quite messy during rush hour when buses are more frequent. Also, some of the busier routes are located too far away from the indoor waiting area, for example routes 110 and 502, which are located all the way on Rathburn Road itself. It gets quite chilly waiting over there in winter (or any cold day for that matter).
Hopefully with the BRT coming into the terminal some changes can be done in terms of configurations.
