Conestoga station is located beside the King Street entrance on the westerly side of Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, Ontario.[1] This facility operates as a major transit terminal for Grand River Transit (GRT) buses, with all of the routes that it serves terminating here.[2] Perth County Connect buses, serving Stratford, Perth County and London, also serve the station via a stop on King Street.[3]
Conestoga is also the northern terminus of the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system,[4] which opened on June 21, 2019.
Access to the LRT platforms is primarily from the north, where both a stairway and ramp lead down to the bus terminal; the King Street sidewalk can also be reached. Sidewalk access is also available from the south end of the platforms.
The station's feature walls consist of ceramic tiles in a pattern of red, orange, blue, teal, and yellow.
The station features the artwork Continuum by Catherine Paleczny about the continuum of communities and the progression of time.[5]
