COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Central Ohio Transit Authority is planning to buy the Greyhound bus station in downtown Columbus.
A spokesperson for the public transit agency said the company wants to buy the station for $9.5 million to demolish it and redevelop a multi-use hub that will include a central bus center.
The Greyhound bus service will then move to COTA’s south terminal in the Columbus Commons parking garage between East Rich Street and Main Street by fall.
The plan to purchase comes a month after the city of Columbus filed a lawsuit against Greyhound, alleging that the downtown bus was a public nuisance and a threat to the community.
