BoltBus Moves D.C. Stop Again

Back in December we reported that BoltBus and Megabus had moved their stop from 11th Street NW just above G Street to around the corner on G Street NW between 9th and 10th, right next to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library. The move sparked a little bit of controversy, as it wasn't clear whether the location was any better in terms of interrupting traffic, and some customers were reportedly uncomfortable with its proximity to the soup kitchen across the street. Well Penn Quarter Living reports that after Megabus relocated a third time, to 9th Street NW just above H Street along the side of the old convention center site, as of today BoltBus will follow them there. BoltBus's web site confirms the move to 9th and H Streets at the old convention center parking lot.

Of course, this third move will likely also only be temporary, as the Hines|Archstone-led CityCenterDC development is expected to break ground at some point this year. Originally the groundbreaking was scheduled for last month, but the latest we heard was it's been moved back to June. All that is, naturally, assuming the ability to finance the entire project hasn't totally disappeared in our increasingly FUBARed economy.
