The city broke ground this morning on a $8.2 million transit center at Middle Street.
Expected to open in October 2010, the portion being constructed is primarily a bus transit stop.
The transit center will include bays for staging buses and an expanded transit center to replace an existing bus service center just mauka at the headquarters of Oahu Transit Services, operators of TheBus. It will also include an electronic informational billboard, a customer service center, two restroom buildings, a utility building and security office.
Eventually, it is expected to connect via a bridge with the future mass transit line, as well as a 1,000-car parking facility, as part of a Middle Street Intermodal Center that will take up a large portion of the Middle Street-Kamehameha Highway Intersection.
