Conestoga Mall Transit Terminal is located beside the King Street entrance on the westerly side of Conestoga Mall[1] in Waterloo, Ontario. This facility operates as a major hub for Grand River Transit (GRT) buses, with all of the routes that it serves terminating here.[2]
Conestoga will be the northern terminus of the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system,[3] which is scheduled to open in 2018.
Access to the LRT platforms is primarily from the north, where both a stairway and ramp lead down to the bus terminal; the King Street sidewalk can also be reached. Sidewalk access is also available from the south end of the platforms.
The station's feature walls consist of ceramic tiles in a pattern of red, orange, blue, teal, and yellow.
The station will feature the artwork Continuum by Catherine Paleczny about the continuum of communities and the progression of time.[4]
