Oshawa Bus Terminal is located at 47 Bond Street West in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The building is owned by the City of Oshawa and incorporates a multi-storey municipal parking lot. [1] City Council has adopted, in principle, the Downtown Action Plan, July 2005, which recommends that the bus terminal functions should be relocated from this priority development site. [2]

As this the hometown of General Motors Canada, the bus terminal has murals of the auto industry decorating the face of the structure. [3] [4] Eight panels represent each of GM's corporate values: Heritage, Diversity, People, Innovation, Safety, Environment, Customer Enthusiasm and Quality.
