Greyhound Bus Station 1212 W Bannock St. in Downtown Boise, Idaho on October 5, 2019.

Boise’s Greyhound depot to leave downtown Boise after 60 years.

The downtown Greyhound depot was built in 1959. In July 2019, Greyhound Lines sold its downtown Boise terminal to a Boise development company. The company plans to close the 60-year-old station at 1212 W. Bannock St. and open a kiosk to serve passengers from the Flying J truck stop on Federal Way.

The large existing Greyhound building in Downtown Boise stands at 9,185 square feet. It cost $191,000 to build in 1959. It included a bus shop, storage and restaurant in addition to the waiting area. Much of the building now serves other uses. The bus terminal is only open for a few hours each early morning and late evening. Besides Greyhound, it also serves passengers of Northwestern Stage Lines, and Boise-Winnemucca Stage Lines.

Only two Greyhound buses arrive at the terminal each day: one headed from Denver, on its way to Portland, comes in at 7 a.m. and leaves 45 minutes later. The other, going to Denver, arrives at 10:30 p.m. and leaves at 11:15 p.m.
