Finch GO Bus Terminal serves York Region, Ontario, Canada, making connections to transit services in the City of Toronto. It is located at 5697 Yonge Street on the northeast corner of Bishop Avenue and Yonge Street, one block north of Finch Avenue and the Finch TTC subway station.

Transit agencies that use the terminal include:

• GO Transit
• York Region Transit/Viva
• Brampton Transit

The terminal had renovations in the Summer of 2005 to add an elevator and new platforms to accommodate York Region Transit's new Viva bus rapid transit service, which started on September 4, 2005. It is the southern terminus of the Viva Blue line and the Viva Pink line. New shelters are being added along the south platform to replace the smaller shelters to accommodate more passengers waiting for buses at the terminal.

The existing station underwent upgrades to widen the waiting area and an elevator is being added to the north end to allow access to Finch TTC subway station. A Viva kiosk is being added on the outside and to the southeast side of the station. Platforms for GO Transit, York Region Transit and Brampton Transit remain unchanged. The platform next to the station, formerly for GO Transit buses was re-constructed and lowered for Viva RTVs.

Inside is a newsstand, washrooms and indoor Viva kiosks. A set of escalators connects to the Finch TTC station across the street. A set of covered stairs on the south side of the station also connects to Finch.

The east of the platforms and next to the TTC east parking lot is a parking area for 13 standard buses (30-40 foot buses). Passenger pickups by taxis (capacity for 9 taxis) can be made from the 'Taxi Stand' on the southeast side of the station next to Bishop Avenue, an off-street driveway.

Some tour buses use the terminal and side street to pick-up and drop off patrons.

At the east end of the terminal is a bus parking area.
