The Kalamazoo Transportation Center is an Intermodal train and bus station in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan.[3] It is the second-busiest Amtrak station in Michigan, after Ann Arbor.[4] The Kalamazoo Transportation Center serves as the main hub for Kalamazoo Metro local buses, and also serves intercity buses operated by Greyhound and Indian Trails.

The railroad station was built in 1887 by the Michigan Central Railroad, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. An expansion project in 2005 and 2006 renovated the original station building and added a bus station for local and intercity buses.

The station is served by Amtrak's Blue Water and Wolverine trains, as part of Amtrak's Michigan Services brand. The station was formerly served by the International, a TorontoChicago service which operated from 1982 to 2004 as a partnership between Via Rail and Amtrak.[5]
