TL;DR Summary

Riders in Philadelphia are expressing their frustration after Greyhound relocated its bus terminal from 10th and Filbert Streets to 6th and Market Streets, leaving them exposed to the elements without access to bathrooms. City officials are acknowledging the issue and are exploring potential solutions, including moving pickups and drop-offs to a location with shelter. While curbside bus companies are not required to provide amenities, the Streets Department is looking into addressing traffic disruptions caused by multiple buses from different companies violating permit regulations. Long-term solutions, such as city-owned bus hubs, are also being considered. Greyhound's parent company, Flix Bus, defended the move, stating that it provides customers with accessibility to other transportation providers and offers amenities onboard the buses.
