A Changing Downtown With No Room for Greyhound

Edmonton’s new “Ice District” has forced inter-city bus passengers to find a far away station with no public transit connections.
Construction is well underway on the series of buildings that will make up the Ice District. A Greyhound station on-site closed earlier this year.jasonwoodhead23/Wikimedia Commons

Ed Braun arrived at the Greyhound station in Edmonton at midnight after sitting on a coach for nine hours.

Braun, who is 52 and lives on a fixed income, then walked outside and searched for a public bus to ride to his home, about 4.5 miles away but within the city core. He had $20 in his pocket.
