Insulated Metal Panels Create Bus Terminal of the Future
In Jacksonville, Fla., it’s not just about the journey, but where it begins or ends. Jacksonville Transportation Authority has set out to create the city’s own unique version of Grand Central Station with a brand-new hub, set to open on March 30. The $57 million Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center (JTRC) focuses on the future that takes the needs of the city, the passengers and the environment into account.
In a master plan that united local and regional shuttles, bus lines, taxis and rideshares, the first phase involved the design of a brand-new, 9,660-square-foot Greyhound Bus Lines terminal, which opened in April 2018. It features 21 bus bays, customer drop-off, a ticket and customer service counter, indoor waiting area with plenty of power ports and restaurant.
