Barrie Transit buses provide public transit access to the rest of the city. As of January 2012, the station is used by about 700 passengers per day,[1] up from 350 at the time of its opening.[2]
Construction of the station began in June 2007[3] and the station began operating on December 17, 2007,[4] with the first train departing at 05:43 that day.[5]
The station's opening restored GO train service to Barrie, which had been eliminated in the 1990s.
