“It will be the main transfer station for all of our busses,” said Sexsmith. “Moving them to this location will provide a more up-to-date, easier to transfer location for our passengers.

“As well, it’ll get the busses off the street, which will make it more safer for the driving public.”
Currently, busses use Central Avenue just north of 15th Street East as their transfer point. Once the depot is completed, busses all busses will stop there and to transfer passengers.
