The King-Victoria Transit Hub, tentatively named Central Station,[1] is a planned intermodal transportation terminal in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. It will serve the Ion light rail line, Via Rail and GO Transit trains, Grand River Transit local buses, as well as Greyhound, Coach Canada and GO Transit intercity buses.

The station will replace the current Kitchener railway station and partially replace the Charles Street Terminal. Intercity bus services which currently depart from Charles Street will be relocated to the new Central terminal; local GRT buses will continue to use Charles Street as a hub until routes can be sufficiently decentralized to make that function redundant.

The light rail (LRT) station, named Central Station - Innovation District, will open along with the start of LRT service in 2018, but as of 2016 there is no timeline for the construction of the remainder of the transit components. As a result, the intermodal facility could not open until 2022 at the earliest.[1]
