This one-storey building at the southeast corner of Sixth Street and Rosser Avenue in Brandon, was designed by the Winnipeg architectural firm of Smith, Carter, Searle Associates and built between 1981 and 1982 by the construction firm of E. C. Higgens and Sons at a cost of $1,300,000. It replaced an earlier bus depot on Princess Avenue.
The terminal was closed in November 2018 after Greyhound discontinued service in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. In early 2024, it was announced that the building had been purchased by the Wuskwi Sipihk First Nation for its bus service for people from northern Manitoba who have difficulty getting to the south for education and medical appointments.
