Gare d'autocars de Montréal (English: Montreal Coach Terminal) is a bus terminal located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the departure and arrival point for most inter-city buses. Nearly 300 buses serve the terminal per day.[1] [3]

The station is connected to the Montreal Metro system at the Berri–UQAM station. Buses connect Montreal with many cities, mostly in Quebec, Ontario, and the state of New York in the United States.

This bus station is not to be confused with Terminus Centre-Ville, which is used for public transit buses from the South Shore of Montreal, and Montreal Central Station, served by Amtrak, Exo, and Via Rail trains.

The new bus station opened on Thursday, December 8, 2011, at the corner of Berri Street and Ontario Street. It is adjacent to the previous bus station which is located at the corner of Berri and De Maisonneuve Boulevard East.[3] The old station was formerly known as Station Centrale d'Autobus Montréal[4] (English: Montreal Central Bus Station), and Terminus Voyageur before that, back when Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines was the station's major tenant.
