Gare d'autocars de Montréal (English: Montreal Coach Terminal) is a bus terminal located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the departure and arrival point for most inter-city buses. Nearly 300 buses serve the terminal per day.
The station is connected to the Montreal Metro system at the Berri-UQAM Station. Buses connect Montreal with many cities, mostly in Quebec, Ontario, and New York state.
This bus station is not to be confused with Terminus Centre-Ville which is used for public transit buses from the South Shore of Montreal, and Montreal Central Station, which serves as the Via Rail and Amtrak train station and the terminus for three of the six Réseau de transport métropolitain commuter train lines.
The new bus station opened on Thursday December 8, 2011 at the corner of Berri Street and Ontario Street. It is adjacent to the previous bus station which is located at the corner of Berri and De Maisonneuve Boulevard East. The old station was formerly known as Station Centrale d'Autobus Montréal (English: Montreal Central Bus Station), and Terminus Voyageur before that, back when Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines was the station's major tenant.
