“All this happening at once is really startling,” said Joseph Schwieterman, a DePaul University professor who researches intercity bus travel and directs the university’s Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development. “You’re taking mobility away from disproportionately low-income and mobility-challenged citizens who don’t have other options.”
Roughly three-quarters of intercity bus riders have annual incomes of less than $40,000. More than a quarter would not make their trip if bus service was not available, according to surveys by Midwestern governments reviewed by DePaul University.
Intercity bus riders are also disproportionately minorities, people with disabilities, and unemployed travelers.
A spokesperson for Greyhound, which is now owned by German company FlixMobility, said it strives to offer customers the most options for connections, but has “encountered challenges in some instances.” The spokesperson also said they “actively engage with local stakeholders to emphasize the importance of supporting affordable and equitable intercity bus travel.”
The terminal closures have been accelerating as Greyhound, the largest carrier, sells its valuable terminals to investors, including investment firm Alden Global Capital.
Last year, Alden subsidiary Twenty Lake Holdings purchased 33 Greyhound stations for $140 million. Alden is best known for buying up local newspapers like The Chicago Tribune, New York Daily News and The Baltimore Sun, cutting staff, and selling some of the iconic downtown buildings.
Alden has started to sell the Greyhound depots to real estate developers, speeding up the timetable for closures.
“I don’t know the specific details of each building, but it is clear what is happening here: an important piece of transit infrastructure is being sacrificed in the name of higher profits,” said Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, a professor of real estate at Columbia Business School.
“The public sector has turned a cold shoulder to buses,” DePaul’s Schwieterman said. “We subsidize public transit abundantly, but we don’t see this as an extension of our transit system. Few governments view it as their mandate.”
Bus terminals are costly for companies to operate, maintain and pay property taxes on. Many have deteriorated over the years, becoming blighted properties struggling with homelessness, crime and other issues.
But terminal closures cause a ripple effect of problems.
Travelers can’t use the bathroom, stay out of the harsh weather or get something to eat while they wait. People transferring late at night or early in the morning, sometimes with long layovers, have no place to safely wait or sleep. It’s worse in the cold, rain, snow or extreme heat.
Bus carriers often try to switch to curbside service when a terminal closes, but curbside bus service can clog up city streets with passengers and their luggage, snarl traffic, increase pollution, and frustrate local business owners. In Philadelphia, a Greyhound terminal closure and switch to curbside service after its lease ended turned into a “humanitarian disaster” and “municipal disgrace” with people waiting on street corners.

#i gotta be a little snobby under this photo of my gangly ugly son#so many american whippets#and by so many i mean#a HUGE majority regardless of lines#look like greyhounds#theyre very unattractive and lacking whippet type#so tall with extremely straight shoulders and short upper arms#no classic S curves to their body#and their faces are either babyfied with dished muzzles and giant ehes#or theyre really snipey and long without elegance#i have no idea why these dogs are winning in the show ring#😩🤚#i hope Stoli's ears settle down because he has a beautiful front and really nice curves#his rear could definitely be better#hes a little cowhocked right now and I've never been a fan of how little turn of the stifle he has#but functionally its oksy#i also think he has a bit too much dish in his muzzle too#it babyfies him#no dog is perfect etc etc#but why do soooo many american whippets look Like That#and look down on UK and euro whippets#because they're#quote on quote too short on the leg#MAAM YOUR DOG IS TALLER THAN IT IS LONG AND ALSO AT THE TIP TOP OF THE STANDARD#you could use an infusion of length to the body#whippet#stoli#also dear god dont take this as me saying greyhounds are unattractive because theyre the most stunning creatures on the planey#i just dont think whippets should look like a small greyhound they should look like a whippet

Why are Americans so averse to trains? Busses too. It's something that I've never understood. Why can't we have abundant transit like other countries do? It would help so many people who can't drive and are hamstrung because of it. We're so obsessed with driving for some weird ass reason. It's depressing that we don't have options.
