New bus terminal to be built next to the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station:

It looks even more ridiculous in renders. I hope they made all the necessary reinforcements to bear that load.

What's ridiculous about it?

Is there a site plan? I can't visualize where this will be.

Thanks!

It's just a little slightly north of the subway station and will be connected to it by a tunnel.

You can sort of get an idea from this...

It also needs a bay for the shuttle bus to IKEA, just like with both Kipling and Leslie Stations.

TTC has never given IKEA a bus bay and it is done off street at Leslie and in the south parking lot at Kipling. Be very surprise if it happen here at all.

It's YRT this time. So who knows...

That seems like a really long walk between the bus terminal and the VIVA stops.

It does. Possibly longer than the tunnel from Finch Station to the YRT/GO terminal.

not really, the bus terminal is on one end of the platform, the main entrance is on the other. Even if the platform was built right up to highway 7 it wouldn;t end until half-way through the KPMG block.

Forcing riders to walk 150m through a tunnel at Vaughan Centre just to transfer is almost as ridiculous as forcing people to walk 150m+ to transfer between YUS and a DRL underneath Wellington St, as some proposed by some people here.

150m is nothing
at least its not as bad as taipei....they have an interchange where firstly its 400m away to the overlapping line and you have to go up 2 flights and back down 1 flight of stairs just to get to it
