[2] Its creation was announced by James Snow, the Ontario Minister of Transportation and Communications, in March 1977.

[3] The bus terminal is strategically located in the middle of what was formerly the North York, at Allen Road on the south side of Highway 401, the main transportation artery across the Greater Toronto Area.

That is ideal for providing GO Transit commuter bus services to points east and west of the city and long-distance intercity coach connections by Ontario Northland.

[4][5] When it opened on October 12, 1979, it was a hub for Gray Coach interurban bus service and, until 2000, for the Toronto Airport Express bus service, which was originally operated by Gray Coach and, after 1993, by Pacific Western Transportation.

Bus stop is located on the west side of Yorkdale Road to the north of the terminal.
