Greyhound moved its bus terminal from Downtown to North Wilson Road in June. Many are unhappy with the change.
Clutching his ticket to St. Louis in one hand and snacks in the other, Kenneth Jones sprinted across the street toward the Greyhound bus, which had begun to pull from its loading bay.
Just another day, outside the freshly painted former Shell gas station, where men and women slumped against walls, under trees, along curbs and at a nearby Speedway. They slept with blankets and their strewn belongings. Some mumbled to themselves. Others huddled in the small air-conditioned waiting area.Late last month, the Greyhound bus terminal moved from Downtown, where it had been for decades, to 845 N. Wilson Road, just south of Interstate 70 in the Hilltop area.
Mayoral candidate, Joe Motil, who is running against Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, says the new terminal is a travesty to the city's image. While there are hourly stops at the station by Central Ohio Transit Authority buses, there is no nearby crosswalk from east to west along North Wilson Road. "I'm supposed to be out at the buses. I'm supposed to be helping with security. I'm supposed to be in here," she said behind a glass window where she takes questions and prints tickets."You literally can't do it all."
Despite the challenges, Hibbs, who is paid $13 per hour, was proud of the re-tiled counters and flooring and newly paved bus stops and parking area."When I first saw this property it looked like crap," she said.
