Janesville Transfer Center

The Janesville Transfer Center at 123 South River Street was opened on May 18, 1998.{{Cite web|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/janesville-gazette-may-18-1998-p-15/|title = Janesville Gazette Newspaper Archives, May 18, 1998, p. 15|date = May 18, 1998}} It provides a central downtown location to transfer between routes, as well as with a daily intercity bus to Milwaukee. There are 8 bus bays in total. Greyhound Lines formerly used the facility until 2004.{{cite web|url=https://www.growjanesville.com/home/showpublisheddocument/1499/635737689610070000|title=JTS Transportation Development Plan August 2007}} The Transfer Center has comfortable benches, covered loading bays for all buses, a climate controlled waiting room, vending machines, a change machine, restroom facilities, and a pleasant view of the Rock River. The Transfer Center is staffed weekday evenings from 6-10PM. During this time customers may purchase fare materials, ask questions in person or by phone, or request a nightside deviation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.janesvillewi.gov/departments-services/neighborhood-and-community-services/bus-transit-jts/transfer-center-jts|title = Transfer Center - JTS | Janesville, WI}}

Beginning April 4, 2022, and lasting until late 2022, the facility will undergo renovations to improve accessibility, warmth and add amenities to the transit center with a $1.5 million federal grant. The project includes a new roof, extra set of sliding doors to make the waiting room warmer, updated HVAC and plumbing systems, new bathrooms and a bigger break room for bus drivers.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbc15.com/2022/02/03/renovations-coming-janesville-transit-center-this-spring/|title=Renovations coming to the Janesville Transit Center this spring|date=February 3, 2022 }}
