Other than that, it's great. And I'm sure they'll evaluate, get some feedback and improve on that design for future terminals at Limeridge, McMaster, Centre Mall and elsewhere.

I actually prefer that they have several stand-alone shelters rather than one long roof over my head. ESPECIALLY during the winter months when it's FREEZING!

I use this new terminal every day and it's fantastic. The buses run in-and-out smoothly, cars are prohibited from entering unlike the last one Eastgate had, and there is ALWAYS either a King or B-Line waiting. Sometimes there are even 3 King's lined up.

I also like how the (West-Bound) B-Line's stop is on Queenston so it can get people off, on, and leave without having to wait for a signal (buses now have merging right-of-way by law although there are still some people who wont let them in). It works great.
