The intercity bus terminal predates 2001 as I used it in 1997. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:23, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There used to be one in the median of the Artery south of Congress Street [1]; that may have been the one you used. --SPUI 18:34, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I think he may be right. I found this on Google Groups:

"Apr 7 1998, 3:00 am

From yesterday's Boston Globe "Ask The Globe" column. ...

Q. When was the new bus terminal opened for business at South Station?

A. The $122 million South Station Transportation Center, or Intermodal Transportation Center, opened in October 1995, complete with marble floor, a quarter-acre waiting area, and a 50-foot dome atop the rotunda. There you can buy tickets, food, and services. Some 700 buses go in and out each day, carrying close to 10,000 passengers. With spaces for more than 230 cars, passengers can drive into the city, park, and head to the bus, commuter rail, Amtrak, or subway - all under one roof. ... Ron Newman rnew...@thecia.net"

Of course you are correct about the location of the Bus Station that preceded the current one. --agr 15:47, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag?

Can it go away? I don't think the article is as need of cleanup as the banner contends. Geoff.green 02:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, going away.. Still needs work, of course, but no more so than the average Wikipedia article that doesn't have a cleanup banner. Geoff.green 18:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Postal relocation

I was wondering if anyone had any information about where the South Station bulk mail center was being moved to, and whether or not there will still be a 24-hour post office afterwords. -- Beland 06:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
