After bouncing around the city of Madison, the Greyhound bus line stop will now be across the street from the Madison Metro North Transfer Point.

Ald. Satya Rhodes-Conway, District 12, said the Greyhound’s new stop at 1213 Huxley Street is an interim solution until the line finds a permanent home in Madison.

Rhodes-Conway, in whose district the stop is located, said the spot makes the most sense for the city because of its location near the Madison Metro. It makes sense to take one form of public transportation to another.

She also said there is a well-lit shelter that is not a random stop on the side of a road.

The stop has switched numerous times; one of the most recent changes was April 7 when the decision for the spot moved from the TravelCenters of America at Int. 90 and Int. 94 to near the North Transfer Point.

Rhodes-Conway said there were problems working out a lease with the TravelCenters of America.

Rhodes-Conway said the bouncing around started when the Downtown Bus Depot closed last year. The owners of the property wanted to develop, and Greyhound had few options on where to relocate.

Since then, the stop has also been located at E. Washington and Baldwin Street, where property owners in adjacent lots asked the stop be moved.

Greyhound spokesperson Timothy Stokes did not have any specific numbers on how many University of Wisconsin students use the bus line, but said the company values the citizens of Madison and is working to find a final stop, which will accommodate the needs of the city.

Stokes said the bus line is currently working with the city to find a more permanent solution for the stop.

The goal, Rhodes-Conway said, is to build a multimodal transit system in downtown Madison, which would encompass many different types of public transportation. No concrete plans for such a station have been announced.
