They have flexibility now, they started out on 7th St, now they're on 4th. I wonder if they'll move again once demolition begins on Pogues Garage in the spring?5chw4r7zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635910297238841220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174432287932211168.post-31940006469102830912013-11-21T10:31:58.066-05:002013-11-21T10:31:58.066-05:00In order to Megabus to use the facility, someone w...In order to Megabus to use the facility, someone would have to pay to have the facility staffed and keep the ventilation system running. (It has massive exhaust fans to deal with fumes from diesel buses or trains.) It's not impossible, but there are some details to be figured out.Travis Estellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707965541974281483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174432287932211168.post-20295683029512885522013-11-20T15:49:10.671-05:002013-11-20T15:49:10.671-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Matthew Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928346231477311342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174432287932211168.post-10462773944793972512013-11-20T14:20:51.250-05:002013-11-20T14:20:51.250-05:00The transit center was a project done with great f...The transit center was a project done with great foresight during the FWW rebuild. It's not been used hardly at all, but remains available, as 5chw4r7z notes, for when (if ever) our city gets its act together and decides to upgrade our mass transit options. It's been a thorn in the side of anti-transit folks, since it added costs to the changes in Fort Washington Way, but as it's supporters have always noted, it would have cost significantly more had we attempted something like this after the fact. They call it, as usual, a "folly", but the only folly is our failure to move forward in making our city a modern transportation city .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759011932917325056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174432287932211168.post-30149124086248333592013-11-20T13:41:40.851-05:002013-11-20T13:41:40.851-05:00Megabus should use it as a station for Cincinnati....Megabus should use it as a station for Cincinnati.
