The Lewis Farms Transit Centre, opened in May 2011, is located on 87 Avenue just off of Anthony Henday Drive. This transit centre has park & ride, a passenger drop off area, public washrooms, vending machines, a payphone and a large shelter.{{cite web |url=https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/lewis-farms-transit-centre.aspx |title=Lewis Farms Transit Centre |publisher= City of Edmonton |access-date= October 1, 2017}} Lewis Farms also serves as an On Demand Transit hub.

Since April 28, 2019 Lewis Farms Transit Centre and South Campus/Fort Edmonton Park Transit Centre have been reconfigured as part of a "Drop-Off Zone Pilot Project".{{cite web |url=https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/drop-off-zone-pilot-project.aspx |title=Drop-Off Zone Pilot Project |publisher=City of Edmonton |access-date=23 April 2019}} As a part of this pilot, all buses dropping off passengers will do so at one of two "drop-off zones", before proceeding to the route's designated "boarding bay" to pick up passengers. At Lewis Farms in particular, any buses that are considerably early will wait at a designated "layover area" after dropping off passengers at the drop off zone but before picking up new passengers at the boarding bay.

The following bus routes serve the transit centre:{{cite web |url=https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/route-brochures-in-pdf.aspx |title=Brochures in PDF |publisher=City of Edmonton |accessdate=1 September 2019}}
