Philadelphia’s city council has just approved a plan to bring Greyhound back to Center City, reviving the historic terminal at 10th and Filbert for the 2026 America’s birthday celebration. NBC10’s Matt DeLucia reports.
The Decision
The council voted unanimously, 17 to zero, on Thursday, Dec. 11 to pass legislation that will bring the Greyhound depot back to its original location.
Background
The bus depot originally sat at 10th and Filbert streets before moving to Spring Garden when plans emerged for a new 76ers arena in Center City. Those plans never materialized, leaving the depot displaced.
Future Plans
Officials announced in October that the city would partner with the Philadelphia Parking Authority to reopen and revitalize the terminal for the 2026 celebration of America’s birthday. While the cost and any new features remain undisclosed, officials say the project should offer an affordable way for travelers to access Center City.
Key Takeaways
- The Greyhound terminal will return to 10th and Filbert after a unanimous council vote.
- The reopening is tied to the 2026 America’s birthday celebration and a partnership with the Parking Authority.
- Cost details and new features have not yet been released, but the project aims to be affordable for travelers.
Philadelphia’s decision marks a significant step toward restoring a historic transportation hub to the city’s core, potentially easing travel to and from Center City for years to come.
