Packed meeting over proposed Philadelphia bus terminal canceled as city official walks out 

Expected from these things.

The reason the other onrle closed was because of the Sixers arena plan.

@@yvonneplant9434 they should keep it for the folks who live up or out of state to visit the arena 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@markmilitant the original property for the bus terminal was a leased property. And it has already been sold to Developers for the 76ers Arena project. Greyhound has been working Nationwide to get rid of all their existing terminal properties. They want to go to a business model of only having ticket offices and bus stops.

Based off your CLEAR 3rd world education, you would know!

Greyhound is doing the same thing Nationwide. There's nothing unique about Philadelphia. Greyhound is getting rid of all large terminals. They've adopted the business model of the competition. Only having stops and ticket offices. The situations in some other cities are a lot worse than Philadelphia.

Pal, people in Old City pay a LOT of taxes. These are the people the city needs to listen...at all times.

@@yvonneplant9434 The city needs to listen to all their residents!

Do you live here cause this is actually really important as what the city has been doing with greyhound and partners so far has been nothing but unsafe for thousands of Philadelphians from increase in car accidents to leaving disabled stranded to literally creating a homeless and drug encampment on 10th and filbert (since you wanna bring up K&A)

I was one of the first people to ever receive 3M staples to hold a wound shut.

Middle of any ocean preferably

That makes no sense. You are putting passengers next to nothing. That's not their destination. There is no hotels to go to. There's no connections to other Transit. Moving the operations closer to 30th Street Station like the other bus companies is far more logical. It's close to the expressway and I-95 access for the buses. Close to Center City hotels. Has indoor facilities for Riders at the Amtrak station. And is already non-residential.

@@WALTERBROADDUS it’s still possible. In Richmond Virginia there’s a big Greyhound hound bus station that’s not in a main part of the city. As far as hotels go, most greyhound passengers can’t afford hotels in Philly. Hotels will be cheaper in the airport area

​@@WALTERBROADDUSThere was a plan to put a bus station near 30th St. Dunno what happened to it.

@@yvonneplant9434 Megabus already is there. Greyhound should join them. A 30th Street area location makes a lot more sense. It has easy access to the expressway for the buses. The train station already has facilities for the passengers Like restrooms, rental cars, food and transportation connection/ taxis. The area is already commercial or just parking lots. Is actually closer to Center City. You could even make a case for buying one of the parking lots. Sadly this is a problem for Greyhound passengers Nationwide. The company has dumped all of its major terminals. Trying to be more like the other bus companies. If you look at RU-vid there's horror stories everywhere of the new system. And in the background all of this has to do with the Sixers.... another headache that the Mayor keeps ducking. A much more important business /residential area. But the people of Chinatown have a 50-year history of being screwed over. Everything all the way back to the expressway, the gallery, the convention center, even a federal prison.....

Yes, you’ve definitely said enough.
