Shoppers World Terminal

Shoppers World Terminal was a Brampton Transit bus station that served the south-central and western areas of Brampton, Ontario, including the neighbourhood of Peel Village. It was located on Steeles Avenue, west of Hurontario Street, in the parking lot of Shoppers World Brampton shopping centre. The building included a service counter, snack vending machines, and a heated waiting area. Washrooms at the station were only for Brampton Transit employees.

The terminal was replaced by the new Brampton Gateway Terminal, located on the northwest corner of Steeles Avenue and Main Street, on 26 November 2012.

As of 2009, it was the second busiest terminal in Brampton, after the Bramalea Terminal, which has also been relocated.

A transit terminal was built at Shoppers World in 1981, on the east side of the mall.

Six routes went to Shoppers World, as of 1989: 1B Queen from City Centre Terminal, later going to Sheridan College, 2 Main from Heart Lake Terminal to Sheridan, 7 Kennedy down Heart Lake and over to Shoppers World, 8 Centre, along the same route from City Centre, and 11 Steeles, to Albion and Humberline, Martin Grove Loop on Saturdays.

A new terminal was built at the south-west area of the mall on former parking spaces, and opened in 2001. The old terminal was demolished and a new building for Canadian Tire was built in its place.

Building rehabilitation lasted a few months in 2009.

Issues related to the terminal's safety had been raised. The terminal is in a busy section of the mall parking lot, near independent multicultural grocery store Oceans Fresh Food Market. In April 2011, the Accessibility Advisory Committee discussed the matter of the paint signalling the ramp to some bus platforms was faded, an issue for those lacking full depth perception; no motions were considered, but the Accessibility Coordinator later talked with Brampton Transit.
