Enterprise is a Vivastation on York Region's Viva bus rapid transit system, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It opened on November 20, 2005, on the intersection of Enterprise Drive and GO Station Access Road (proposed to be named YMCA boulevard) in Markham, Ontario. It is on the Viva Purple line, Viva Green line, and the Viva Pink line.

This Vivastation was planned to open on Viva's Second Stage on October 16, 2005. However, the new Enterprise Drive had not been finished to connect to Unionville GO Station and Kennedy, so the openings of this Vivastation and Warden Vivastation were delayed to the Third Stage of Viva on November 20, 2005 with a detour on Highway 407 nearby. This Vivastation was built east of the Markham Centre community.

[edit] Relocation plan

Enterprise Vivastation was initially proposed to be relocated to the newly proposed Downtown Markham Centre sometime in around 2007 or 2008, while the former Vivastation would be renamed Helen, after nearby Helen Avenue. However, development at Downtown Markham is currently mostly unfinished, making the relocation useless.
