Centro Transit Hub speeds up bus transfers downtown
The 5,000 to 8,000 bus transfers each weekday in Syracuse will now occur at the new Centro Transit Hub, a facility located at the intersection of South Salina and East Adams streets.
The $18.8 million hub is covered with an indoor building that’s heated and air-conditioned, ensuring commuters will no longer have to stay outside in the heat or snow while waiting to transfer buses, according to a Sept. 4 article in The Post-Standard.
The old hub was located at the intersection of South Salina and East Fayette streets, where the city’s main transportation center has been located for more than a century, according to the article.
Centro hoped to begin transfers at the new facility in late July, but this was delayed due to traffic signal modifications in the area, and because getting the required approvals from the New York State Department of Transportation took longer than excepted, according to Centro’s website.
