Previous terminals

Colonial Coach Lines initially operated from a garage at Queen and Bagot streets in 1926. In 1931, a new terminal was built behind the Windsor Hotel at Princess and Montreal Streets. In 1947, the terminal moved to a new building off the traffic circle at Bath Road and Princess, which included a restaurant and waiting room. In 1972, what was by then Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines relocated to a terminal at Division Street just south of Counter, close to Highway 401. That building is now the Portuguese Cultural Centre.
