Fairway is a light rail station and bus station in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. It is a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system.[1] The station is located just off Wilson Avenue between Fairway Road and Kingsway Drive, adjacent to the Fairview Park Mall. Fairway is the southern terminus of the Ion light rail line, with adapted bus rapid transit (the 302 Ion Bus) continuing on toward Cambridge. The station opened on June 21, 2019. At the same time as the light rail launch, the existing bus terminal was moved from its current location adjacent to the Hudson's Bay store, to a new park and ride lot at the corner of Fairway and Wilson, off of the mall property.
The two LRT platforms are also paired with a bus platform, on the far side of the north platform; this is for Ion-branded buses to Cambridge to interchange swiftly with LRT. These platforms have access from the west, toward the new bus terminal, and from the east, toward the mall.
