How Do I Get to the Central Bus Station?

There are two ways to get to the Central Bus Station from the Amtrak Station. One way is to catch the #8 bus on the corner of Market Avenue and Wealthy Street, which is right outside of the Amtrak station. This bus will take you right to the Central Bus station.

Another option is to walk, as the two locations are approximately a block and a half away from each other. To walk, visitors can take Wealthy Street west and turn left onto Grandville Avenue. From Grandville, make a right onto Bartlet. The bus station will be right in front of you. It is a large building with a white wavy roof.
