Posted by Joe on Mon Jan 25 18:52:54 2021, in response to PABT may get $10 Billion overhaul, posted by GojiMet86 on Thu Jan 21 15:43:21 2021. One must remember that the current PABT is an enlarged terminal, not merely a seventy-year old building. In 1950, buses concerned me little, but we did sometimes get a PSNJ bus to Susquehanna Transfer or a Greyhound/Vermont Transit bus to Winsted, Connecticut, from off-street terminals. PSNJ got moved into the "Port of Authority," while there was no room for Greyhound until the early 1960's. Then the north building and the third or fourth floor opened around 1979, and I had to relearn the insides of the building. I believe local streets are infested with discount coach services and jitneys, a congestion problem that was supposed to be solved in 1950. I recall how Walter's Transit brought Putnam Division commuters out of GCT to the West 41st and 7th Avenue curb. At least PABT offers shelter, lavatories, and newsstands. |
