—  OVERVIEW

Main Street Station is the downtown terminus station for multiple bus routes. Some bus lines with more limited service or for logistics reasons, and intercounty routes have their stops on Main Street between Eighth and Ninth Streets, the next block east of Main Street Station. There are eight bus bays at an angle so that buses can enter and depart without having to wait for other buses to leave. The Main Street Station has two flights of 19 steps going straight to the buses. Along each side of the staircases are bike troughs to roll bikes up and down the staircase. Bikes are also welcome in the elevator. For the first time, VRT has a pair of dedicated customer service windows at its main downtown station, where people are able to buy bus passes.

Right by the stall for Route 6 is a secure bike storage area, where users gain access through a security code. The bike room has a capacity of up to 50, with a Dero Fixit bike repair station.

The $11.1 million, 54,046-square-foot bus terminal comes with plenty of artistic touches, whether in practical signage or for purely artistic reasons.
The signage with the route numbers is magnetic for easy sign changes.

Four doors lead out to the bus bays. Riders may never notice, but each door has an outdoor theme assigned to it: foothills, mountains, high desert and rivers. Large artistic floor medallions by a local artist at each door visually depict each of the scenes: overhead bus route signage bears corresponding butterfly, deer, hawk and fish symbols. A “Keep People Moving” collage of broken transportation toys greets riders as they go down the stairs, and a cut tile and mosaic tile mural along the staircase called “In Our Own Back Yard.”
