Albany’s next bus terminal might already exist 🚎👀
Just days after Albany County scrapped its controversial South End bus station plan, a new proposal is putting the terminal beneath the Empire State Plaza. The plan is to relocate Albany’s intercity bus terminal to the Empire State Plaza Concourse, using existing underground infrastructure that supporters say was originally designed for bus operations.
The plan, led by Albany Chief City Auditor Sam Fein and public relations executive Joe Bonilla, would place buses beneath the Plaza with weather-protected access to downtown destinations, food options, parking, and transit connections. Supporters estimate the project could cost less than $1 million and serve as an alternative to the recently abandoned $7 million South End bus station proposal.
The concept remains in its early stages, but organizers say they are building a coalition of transportation experts, community leaders, and public officials to move the idea forward.
