Ainslie St. Transit Terminal
Ainslie St. Transit Terminal is the main hub for local Grand River Transit bus services in Cambridge, Ontario.[1] It was built as a replacement for the Mill Street Terminal (Mill Street near Main Street and Ainslie Street), in response to a 1988 report, commissioned by the city, which concluded that the existing facilities were totally inadequate and should be shut down.[3]
