After the Greyhound bus terminal at 10th and Filbert streets was shuttered in anticipation of a Center City 76ers arena that never materialized, those who relied on busses for travel in and out of the region have seen stops moved to different locations across the city.
But, that will soon end as the city is partnering with the Philadelphia Parking Authority to reopen and revitalized the 10th and Filbert Greyhound Bus Terminal for the 2026 celebration for America’s birthday.
“Our goal is to create an attractive new ‘neighborhood friendly’ state of the art intercity transportation facility — that is clean, safe, and well maintained — and will deliberately route buses away from the Chinatown neighborhood,” PPA executive director Rich Lazer said in a statement.
While officials have not said what this reopened terminal might cost, what “state of the art” features it may include or just when it might reopen, Lazer said, in a statement, that the new terminal will offer an affordable way for riders to travel to Center City and places beyond.
“This new intercity transportation bus hub will be a key ingredient in the revitalization of nearby blocks and businesses — that will provide an affordable and welcoming intercity transit option for quick trips to center city, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Fashion and Historic Districts, Reading Terminal Market, and Chinatown.”
And, while officials didn’t provide an exact time for when the new bus terminal might be in operation, they said it would be available for riders ahead of the planned events for America’s 250th birthday celebration next summer.
