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.
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". 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.
