Grant Street Transportation Center

Bus station The ground floor bus station covers and hosts 14 bus slips. The main entrance to the bus station is at the base of the glass tower at the corner of Liberty Avenue and 11th Street. The center is located across the street from Pittsburgh Union Station which is served by two daily Amtrak trains and is the western terminus of the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway. Greyhound Lines is the primary tenant at the bus station, but it is also served by Amtrak Thruway, Fullington Trailways, Commuter routes A, 1 and 2 of the Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority and the 29 Grey Line of the Mountain Line Transit Authority. Parking structure Above ground level, the property is bisected by an elevated railroad bridge. The result is that from ground level, the center appears as one facility visually, but functions as two separate parking garages, referred to as the red and blue garages, with a total of 991 spaces. == History ==

The center replaced a Greyhound station that was built in 1959 on the same property. At the time of its construction, the center cost to build. Greyhound moved out of the old bus station in July 2005 and into temporary buildings in the parking authority's Second Avenue Plaza lot. The primary architect for the project was IKM and the general contractor was PJ Dick. The new bus station opened on September 9, 2008, ahead of a grand opening for the entire facility a few weeks later on September 29. == References ==
