Decades of planning finally came to fruition Thursday, as BBA member Green Mountain Transit opened their new Downtown Transit Center in Burlington.

The facility will provide riders with indoor seating, bathrooms, wifi as well as a roof covered outdoor waiting area.

The transit center’s central location on St. Paul Street will provide an ideal transportation hub for commuters who work in Burlington’s downtown core. The future development of the Burlington Town Center, located directly across the street could potentially provide a steady stream of new riders.

Green Mountain Transit officials were proud to announce the projects completion “on budget, on schedule”.

BBA Members took a lead in the development of the $7.7 million dollar project, with Truex Cullins and PC Construction designing and building the facility.
