Peter Pan to Move Operations into Union Station

SPRINGFIELD — Peter Pan Bus Lines announced a deal Tuesday to move its Springfield operations into Union Station, with a plan to bring 100 long-distance, inter-city buses through the station every day, and carry more than 1 million passengers a year through the facility, the Republican reported.

Peter Pan will rent nine bus berths and 2,000 square feet of interior space, and will also move its ticketing and dispatch operations and its driver’s lounge into Union Station, which is nearing completion of a $94 million rehabilitation. A grand opening is planned for June 24-25.
