Greyhound will not be leaving its station on Arthur Ashe Boulevard as soon as anticipated, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

The bus line company had been planning to leave the station sometime this month. With plans now in the works to move near Main Street Station, the company has delayed that departure. It now plans to move some time in the next few months.

Greyhound has been operating out of the Arthur Ashe station since 1984. Once the space is vacated, the property’s owner plans to demolish it and replace it with a multi-family residential building.

If Greyhound and the city reach an agreement for long-term use of the space outside Main Street Station, the company could pay the city around $15,000 annually. Other bus lines including Megabus and Virginia Breeze already use the Main Street Station stop.
