became a place of refuge for the homeless the current bus station was built from 1968 to 1969 in a modern style and featured numerous traveler amenities efforts to keep the station safe were successful early on though the greyhound corporation proposed its sale by 1988 in 2021 following a shooting incident and reports of frequent police visits the property was declared a public nuisance

included a streetside restaurant entrance aerial view of the station beside the columbus city center mall 1990 station interior plans for a new greyhound station were announced in 1967 15 the new station was developed as part of an urban renewal project in the market mohawk redevelopment area 8 the project required the demolition of the historic central market 1 and an a p grocery store once used as the city s central interurban station and owned by the pontifical college josephinum 15 initial plans also called for a 1 000 vehicle parking garage atop the new station though this plan was dropped in 1967 16 seen as not economically feasible and given that there were 1 000 spots within a one block distance of the terminal 17 ground broke for the station in 1968 4 and it opened on august

columbus policeman thomas r stroud became known for keeping the station safe police and greyhound officials were keen to keep the 1969 station clean and safe for visitors as according to the columbus dispatch the old station had deteriorated into a haven for a variety of undesirables ranging from vagrants and drunks to deviates stroud began patrolling the station around april 1972 and arrested or ticketed 105 people within two months 20 in 1988 the greyhound corporation proposed selling leasing or creating a joint venture for the property the corporation envisioned a multi use space with office and retail functions and potentially a hotel at the time the columbus city center mall was being constructed adjacent to the property a 1988 feasibility study for the proposed greater columbus convention center suggested greyhound lines relocate there which greyhound officials supported 21 in 1990 the dial corporation put the station up for sale asking 4 2 million greyhound planned to move elsewhere in the city preferably downtown if the station building was sold 2 a local realty company began negotiations to purchase it in 1995 with the possibility of greyhound relocating 3 a 1995 article detailed the lack of security in the building partially because all of its entrances were kept open homeless residents would stay there and use its coin operated lockers leading greyhound to remove seats and replace the lockers with computer coded ones with a higher user cost 2 by 2000 the station became a gritty gathering point for visitors looking worn and grimy at the time it saw 1 4 million passengers travel through per year 22 in july 2021 the station was the final filming site for bones and all a 2022 film starring timothée chalamet 23 throughout the early 21st century the station has not been well maintained and has attracted crime including stabbings gun related complaints drug overdoses and assaults police made 1 200 visits to the station in 2020 and 300 in the first half of 2021 and often multiple times per day 8 a may 2021 shooting left a victim in critical condition in june 2021 a city of columbus attorney declared the property a public nuisance requesting a hearing where the city could force the facility s closure for up to a year 24 an agreement made in the county municipal court required greyhound to have at least two 24 hour private security guards to maintain security cameras and enforce additional security measures 25 a few months later in july the central ohio transit authority cota purchased the property for 9 4 million 9 the transit agency plans to demolish the bus station and create a multi use development including a transit center on site to serve regular buses in addition to planned east west and northwest brt routes cota officials believe transit should be a secondary feature of the new development 8 the city government and columbus downtown development corporation will partner in planning the site 1 the columbus dispatch reported that there are no plans to move the cota headquarters there though the agency s chief development officer suggested cota could move its offices there and sell its current headquarters 8 1 intercity bus service was set to move to cota s south transit terminal in fall 2021 8 the station operations moved on april 1 2022 26 in june 2023 the station relocated to a former gas station on the city s west side 27 since cota s purchase of the old bus station the site has sat vacant cota and the columbus downtown development corporation are planning an interim use of the property likely to

has a history of its workers going on strike some of these have affected service at the station though a strike in 1941 across the central greyhound lines did not directly affect columbus which at the time serviced only the pennsylvania greyhound lines and the ohio and atlantic lines 31 an unauthorized strike took place in november 1971 a walkout by about 150 members of the amalgamated transit
