Greyhound bus stations are being shut down and redeveloped. The closures are leaving passengers without a warm place to get a snack, use the restroom or wait for the bus.

That means Greyhound has been relocating some stations to the suburbs and in some cases, moving to curbside pickup points. Greyhound was once synonymous with intercity bus transportation.

The westbound bus, with 22 passengers, entered the rest area near Highland, 32 miles (about 51 kilometers) east of St. Louis at 1:48 a.m. on July 12, 2023.
