LEWISTON – Greyhound bus service returns downtown this weekend when the company officially opens at the Oak Street bus station.

Vermont Transit, a subsidiary of Greyhound Lines, will run 10 buses daily seven days a week from the station beginning Sunday. Five buses daily will be outbound for Portland, Boston and the rest the country.

Five buses will be inbound from points south, with four of them continuing north to Bangor, Augusta and Waterville.

The company is planning an open house at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, to show off the station.

The bus company moved out of the Main Street bus depot in October 1999 in favor of a Lisbon Street station near Interstate 95. The Main Street depot’s lack of parking was blamed for the move.

The city included a new CityLink bus terminal in the Park Street parking garage when it opened in 2004. That terminal, which faces Oak Street, became the Lewiston hub for the rest of the CityLink bus system and included space for Vermont Transit.

The company will have agents on duty daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
