The Mill Woods Transit Centre is located on Hewes Way and 25 Avenue. This transit centre has a large shelter, a pay phone and a drop off area and does not have washrooms, park & ride, or vending machines.[4]

As a part of the Mill Woods Town Centre redevelopment plan, plans are in place for the transit centre to be moved from its current location to a new location approximately 100 metres (330 ft) from the new LRT station site, half the distance of the current transit centre.[5] Instead of a concrete island, typical of transit centres in Edmonton, plans for the transit centre include a promenade with shops next to the bus stops.[6] Construction of the new transit centre was scheduled to begin in fall 2019 and it's scheduled to be operational by December 2020, at the same time as the new LRT station.[7][8]

The following bus routes serve the transit centre:[9]
