Bus terminal and surface connections

In addition to being a subway station, Don Mills station also serves as a bus terminal for both the Toronto Transit Commission and York Region Transit. The Toronto Transit Commission ( TTC) is a Public transport authority that operates Buses streetcars, subways and Rapid transit York Region Transit (YRT is the Public transit operator in York Region, Ontario, Canada. Like most large TTC bus terminals, it is inside a fare-paid area, so bus passengers will need to enter Don Mills station to board most buses. As of 2005, Don Mills Station serves 10 TTC routes and two YRT routes:

The bus terminal is underground, one level above the concourse level; it consists of a large outdoor waiting area serving as its bus platforms, with a relatively modest indoor waiting area. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Viva Green, or the Don Mills-McCowan-Cornell line is a Bus rapid transit line in York Region, north of Toronto, Canada. Because some of the bus platforms are far away from the indoor waiting area, it is practical to wait outdoors for some routes due to the way TTC bus terminals work; unfortunately, because it is underground, the air quality on the bus platforms can be poor during busy hours. Stairs connect the indoor waiting area to a usually-unmanned pedestrian entrance/exit on the ground level just outside Fairview Mall.

This terminal is the southern terminus of the Viva Green bus rapid transit line.

A vending machine is a machine that provides various snacks beverages and other products to consumers During the first two weeks of Viva’s stage 2 launch, the indoor machines were staffed by one to two Viva personnel in the morning.

The Viva buses stop three times at Don Mills. First, they stop in front of the station entrance on Sheppard Avenue to offload all of their passengers, then, they enter the bus terminal to pick up passengers. This is to ensure that Viva riders do not access the TTC without paying a TTC fare, as the bus terminal is inside the station's fare paid zone. After this, they stop a third time, on northbound Don Mills Road, to pick up passengers who did not transfer from the subway or a TTC bus.

This Vivastation is considered a Viva terminal. Therefore, there are multiRide ticket vending machines available.

Parking lot and drop-off facility

Above the bus terminal, on the street level, is a multi-storey public parking lot, providing 366 parking spaces for commuters. Access to this parking lot is by cash only; commuters cannot access this parking lot with the Metropass.

Outside the parking lot, next to a manned pedestrian entrance to the station is a passenger pick-up area. It is not as elaborate as the “Kiss-n-Ride” passenger pick-up/drop-off area in Finch Station, but it still provides 18 temporary parking spaces—about the same as the Finch “Kiss-n-Ride”—for passenger pick-up and drop-off purposes. Finch is a station on the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the subway system of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
