Cornell Terminal is a bus terminus, that has been part of long term planning by York Region Transit, and is expected to open in 2017 on a site immediately south of Markham Stouffville Hospital in Markham, Ontario, Canada.

Planning
The terminal was originally scheduled to open in 2008 but, although the planning continued, construction was postponed to a later date.
A long term proposal for a Metrolinx transitway terminal close to Highway 407 and future integration with a Havelock GO Train line, which would use the CPR Havelock Subdivision, will not result in the Cornell Terminal being moved, since it will still be required for local bus services and Viva would serve both locations.
York Region acquired land in 2014 in the Cornell Centre district, just south of the hospital property and adjacent to a proposed extension of Rose Way east of 9th Line. This location will to serve the hospital, community centre and local residents, while relieving Church Street of bus traffic and congestion at the hospital entrance. At that time the terminal was scheduled to open in mid 2016, but it is not now expected to be in operation until late 2017.
Bus service
The terminal will be the eastern terminus of Viva Rapid Transit's Viva Purple route and a hub for local York Region Transit bus routes. There will be connections with GO Transit and Durham Region Transit.
The terminal is part of the broader vivaNext rapid transit network.
