Philadelphia Plans New Greyhound Terminal Location

Philadelphia reviews three Center City sites for new Greyhound terminal before 2026

Philadelphia Seeks Input on Bus Terminal Site

Philadelphia residents can weigh in on where the city's new Greyhound bus terminal should be located. The Philadelphia City Planning Commission held a public open house Wednesday evening at the Independence Visitor Center to gather feedback on three potential sites. The decision comes as the city works to establish a permanent terminal ahead of America's 250th anniversary celebrations.

Three Center City Locations Under Review

The Planning Commission is evaluating three Center City locations for the new terminal. The options include 29th and Arch Streets near 30th Street Station, the 1500 block of Vine Street, and the 700 block of Arch Street. Mayor Cherelle Parker and the Philadelphia Parking Authority previously held a ceremonial bill signing to fund the revitalization of the Center City bus terminal. The initiative is part of Philadelphia's broader efforts to improve public transportation infrastructure, officials said.

Residents Voice Support for Transit Improvements

Community members attended Wednesday's open house to share their opinions on the proposed locations. Nancy Biller, a resident from Philadelphia's Bella Vista section, expressed support for public transportation improvements. She said such facilities create safer and more attractive environments. The Planning Commission has made a survey available online for residents who wish to provide feedback on the bus station options. Officials didn't specify when the survey period closes.

Current Station to Reopen Temporarily in May

The current Greyhound station on Filbert Street is scheduled to temporarily reopen in May while the city finalizes plans for a permanent location. Officials haven't said how long the temporary facility will remain operational or when construction on the new terminal might begin. The city is working to establish the permanent location before America's 250th anniversary celebrations bring increased visitor traffic to Philadelphia.

Riders Can Track Updates Through Moovit

The new terminal location will affect intercity bus connections for thousands of Philadelphia residents and visitors. Officials said they'll announce the final site selection after reviewing public feedback. Riders can use Moovit to track real-time updates on Greyhound routes and connections to Philadelphia's public transit system once the new terminal opens.
