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)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mbta-logo.svg
Image:Mbta-logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Services section
The services section in the info box is way too long and duplicates a more compact version nearer to the top. I propose removing it.--agr (talk) 16:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well first of all, I don't see any duplicates anywhere in the article. Second, the infobox is a vital part of a good station article however, I do see your point about it being way too long. What we need to do is make it collapsible. I'm going to take this discussion over to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains since this is a very interesting subject.
