Ms Hyslop said: "I'm pleased to join HITRANS, The Highland Council and Stagecoach to officially open the Torvean Mobility Hub.
"The integration of sustainable travel options at this new hub, the first of its kind in the Highlands, makes it easier for people to leave the car and to choose public transport and active travel in and around Inverness.
"This will support more sustainable journeys which are good for both people and planet – while allowing all those who live, work in or who are visiting Inverness to choose healthier and happier forms of transport."
