The terminal is poorly designed. You have to walk outside quite a ways to the farthest bus platforms. Should have been a central pavilion.

Looks like the media picked up on the water table issue on the extension:
Are new TTC stations showing signs of aging?
The TTC said there are no structural issues at the new stations along the Spadina subway extension, despite some water leakage.toronto.ctvnews.ca

Well, they explicitly said in the story, multiple times, that it's under warranty for 10 years and will be patched up soon and so I doubt it's a massive claim of any kind. That's what happens when you sign proper contracts with contractors.
Anyway, I'm surprised this isn't a purposeful design feature of TTC stations. I don't think I've ever seen Finch Station without a few of these babies!
And even when they're interviewing Green, you can see the ceiling is open, so they're doing some work at Davisville too. Are we sure the repair backlog is only $33B?
well what happens after 10 years then? will they continuously patch up year after year and have this as part of the maintenance budget? even during the warranty period this is a potential cause for partial shutdowns for repair work.
this is clearly a design fault and they cant just sweep it under as part of warranty work. they need to find a permanent fix for this and/or file a claim for the shotty worksmanship
Here's a shot of the Smart Centres Terminal construction:
The station escalators are running but still not yet open, but the elevator is in service:
That makes more sense than running an operating escalator to a construction site.Is the second photo of the Smart Centre bus terminal or the VIVA station in the middle of highway 7. VIVA Orange should be stopping at the VIVA Station not Smart Centres terminal... Ughh that's way more complicated than it should be.
