I have notice this decline of the Bay St. Bus Terminal for at least 10 years ! One particular section that is quite spooky, is where the busses come in to Toronto and drop off passengers (near Edward & Centre Sts.) Imagine being a total stranger to Toronto and being dropped off there - worse - if it is late or in the middle of the night ! Signage is very poor. Lighting is quite dim. There is no employee stationed there, just an odd security guard that makes - what seems to be random walk throughs. This arrival terminal is so open to the small dark side streets around it. It is not a great place to be if waiting on visitors to arrive. It is also not a place to be proud of ! It is quite depressing and disrespectful ! We always waited there for our daughter's arrival when she returned from a bus trip, whether it was day or night. I know that the TTC manages a part of the terminal. I think it's the ticket sales. I had called to express our comments a couple of years ago. I think twice about returning to this terminal from a trip ! Well if Toronto is supposed to be a first class city, it's time that the muicipality step in and insist that the Bay St. Bus Terminal: Arrivals & Departiures, be upgraded and made secure and safe for all customers that deserve the respect from the Bus Lines. If anyone is willing to start a PETITION,I am in. THANK YOU SAM !

I stopped using Greyhound a while back for just such a reason (i.e. the Bay St. Bus Terminal). Sometimes, if forced to take the Greyhound, I'll just get off at the Royal York...but in the summer, construction usually closes up that option, so VIA is usually a better bet for me, followed by the GO train.
