Baltimore bus terminals

Baltimore bus terminals

The city of Baltimore, Maryland has several terminals for interstate bus travel

Greyhound Terminal

The main terminal for Greyhound is located at 2110 Haines Street just off Russell Street south of downtown Baltimore [http://greyhound.com/scripts/en/TicketCenter/terminal.asp?city=190036&PrinterFriendly=true&BackPage=/scripts/en/TicketCenter/locations.asp?State=md] . This location opened on June 24, 2004 near the intersection of I-95 and MD-295 [http://home.mchsi.com/~blaidd/anime/mta.html] . Being so new, this terminal is still shown on Google Maps and Wikimapia as being under construction [http://wikimapia.org/2914778/Baltimore_Greyhound_Terminal] .

This location was chosen following community opposition to construct a site for Greyhound near Penn Station. Then-mayor Martin O'Malley, who had originally wanted this site because of its central location to public transportation in the city, bowed to this pressure [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C04E2DB1031F934A15751C1A9679C8B63&n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fO%2fO%27Malley%2c%20Martin] .

Following the opening of the current location, which relocated Greyhound from its former terminal near the center of the city (which is still the Peter Pan/Trailways terminal, see below), a location accessible to most of the city's public bus and rail lines, local and state politicians, including O'Malley (now Maryland's governor), then-governor Robert Ehrlich, and Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele scrambled to provide better public transportation to the new site. As a result, the Maryland Transit Administration increased service on bus route 27, the closest bus line to the new location, and rerouted the line into the terminal. In 2005 and 2006, various proposals were made under the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative to modify service in the region and change this to another line, but none of these plans ever materialized.

Baltimore Travel Plaza

The Baltimore Travel Plaza is a bus terminal located at 5625 Odonnell Street off I-95 in southeast Baltimore [http://greyhound.com/scripts/en/TicketCenter/terminal.asp?city=190542&PrinterFriendly=true&BackPage=/scripts/en/TicketCenter/locations.asp?State=md] . Several bus companies use this location, including Greyhound and Chinatown bus lines.
