RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- A Richmond City Council committee has recommended that Greyhound be allowed to use a portion of Main Street Station for its operations in the city. The previous hub for Greyhound buses in the city of Richmond was located on North Arthur Ashe Boulevard, across from the Diamond. It's set to close this October. During an Oct. 22 meeting of Richmond's Land, Housing and Transportation Use Committee, its members voted in favor of allowing Greyhound to operate on Main Street. This would include the addition of a bus stop and an area for passengers coming and going. Since July, a few buses have been operating out of Main Street Station -- but bringing all of the city's operations there requires the approval of Richmond City Council. The first step in that process is whether or not the move is recommended by its Land Use Committee. PREVIOUS: What’s next for Greyhound service in Richmond after the city’s station closes in October? Most of the discussion at Tuesday's meeting surrounded concerns about Greyhound buses creating further traffic in the area around Main Street Station. This included concerns about the roads being worn down by buses coming in and out regularly. A representative who spoke at the meeting said that Greyhound is ready and willing to aid city agencies in maintaining the roads. Committee members also stressed that it's a busy area. The station is already used by multiple other transportation companies. Ultimately, the committee voted unanimously to recommend the move. City council members will receive the committee's recommendation and vote on the decision in November. In the meantime, FlixBus -- the company that runs the Richmond Greyhound station -- previously told 8News that it does not expect any service delays. The North Arthur Ashe Boulevard location was purchased by the Connecticut-based Twenty Lake Holdings in 2021. The company intends to build apartments there. The Greyhound representative said the current building will likely be demolished in early 2025.
