Does Fort Lee want a bus terminal? I doubt it. And by the time the GWBBS was built, it was too late to run trains over the GWB, since both levels had been devoted to motor traffic.The Station has been described as looking bird-like, so I guess it could be an albatross, but I don't think it is one in the way you mean. I remember when Short Line ran regular service from there, with passengers told to "Change at Paramus" (for buses from PABT) for destinations not served directly. All longer-distance buses operated out of the ground floor, using driveways to and from 178th and 179th Streets, rather than from upstairs using the ramps to and from the Bridge. There were even a few buses that didn't use the GWB at all, but instead ran to/from the Washington (18st St.) Bridge and the Cross Bronx Expressway. With all buses now to arrive and depart from the upper level, will some be allowed to make what amounts to a U-turn before getting on the Bridge and enter city streets via the 178th St. exit ramp from the upper level, or will the Bus Station be strictly for buses crossing the GWB? |
