Transbay Terminal Closes in August

This amazing photo by Brandon Doran reminded me: The Transbay Terminal, long a bastion of transit and bodily fluids, will be closing next month. As Doran says, “The old terminal is smelly, dirty, and outdated, but it definitely has grit and character.”

Services will be moved to a temporary terminal located nearby, on Folsom Street (bounded by Main, Howard, and Beale streets). The new Transbay Transit Center is scheduled to open in 2017.
