The Guelph Bus Terminal, formerly located at 141 MacDonell Street, is temporarily located at 17 Wyndham St South in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. It currently is the main intercity bus station for the community, while the downtown hub for local Guelph Transit bus services is at the nearby St. George's Square.
Operators that use the temporary terminal include Aboutown, GO Transit and Greyhound. Coach Canada ended its service in early 2010. The former Guelph Bus Terminal was closed July 5th, 2011 and torn down in the Summer of 2011 to make way for the intermodal transportation centre.
During the school term, GO Transit has expanded service directly to the University of Guelph campus, eliminating the need to transfer to local transit routes at the downtown terminal.[1]

The University of Guelph has created a transit hub within the entrance mall area in front of the University Centre to accommodate increased GO Bus service. Guelph Transit, Aboutown Northlink and Greyhound Canada also added more bus services to campus.[6]
The former Guelph Bus Terminal, 141 MacDonell Street, was closed and torn down in the Summer of 2011 to make way for the new Guelph Central Station intermodal transportation centre. Greyhound and GO Transit buses are temporarily relocated to the corner of Fountain St. and Wyndham St. S. across from the Guelph Police Station. This temporary location will have a Greyhound trailer to purchase tickets and shelters.
The temporally bus terminal will be closed in fall of 2012 and be integrated into the new transportation centre which inlcudes Guelph railway station and former bus terminal site. The railway station is being renovated to accommodate ticket sales for bus and train users.[10] [11]
