I find it interesting that seventy or eighty years ago the interstate bus companies would find a way to serve their passengers in off-street terminals, whether in midtown or near 168th Street. When we rode a Public Service bus to meet a Susquehanna train (not yet the RDC prototype), I do not recall the Manhattan terminal. However, I do recall boarding Greyhound at both 34th and 50th street terminals, but that was because PABT could not yet handle Greyhound.--- When PABT opened in 1950, I thought that carriers were forbidden to do curbside loading anymore. When the Putnam Division gave up, Walters got curb permission about 41st and 7th Avenue. --- I agree with the complaints in the article. There is too much idling, fouling the air, to provide air conditioning inside the bus. Ridiculous is the lack of a waiting room and restrooms. --- My complaints extend to the jitneys. Some have moved into the terminal, I realize, but the others should be shut down until they get off the streets. |

Your complaints may be entirely reasonable, however, Federal Law precludes the city from doing that. Their ability to ban curb side use is somewhat limited. |

Bieber troubles aside for a moment. A two and a half to three hour commute one way from Allentown Pa. to New York City every day is insane. And that’s if everything goes right. How do folks allow themselves to get trapped into that gilded cage? |

That is correct. In addition, you would have a hard time explaining to a judge why bus stop capacity measurements aren't applied to MTA buses that want to use a stop. Many stops with local and express buses picking up in Manhattan are overcapacity in the afternoon rush hour. |

If I knew anything about Justin Bieber, I’d make some kind of joke confusing the bus company with the singer. But I don’t, so I got nothing. |

Wouldn't be surprised if the smaller bus companies come up with precisely that vonclusion. It defeats the purpose of The Port Authority Bus Term in the first place . |

The PABT is a semi-controlled environment. The street is a largely uncontrolled environment. Bus companies prefer to have customers wait in an area that is safe and controlled. |

Beiber is not long for this world. Trans-Bridge will gradually move in. All of the remains of Capitol Trailways that Beiber ingested is gone. |
