A Springfield transportation advocacy group is soliciting donations to help a local business owner defray the cost of allowing Greyhound to establish a new bus station at his business.
The group Citizens for Accessible Safe Transportation… or CAST… says Shaner’s Tire and Towing has incurred expenses for a site study, and will have to pay more for upgrades to the site to accommodate city zoning rules regarding the bus traffic.
Shaner’s is getting paid by Greyhound, but CAST member Jane Ford says it’s not enough right now to cover the expenses, and she hopes donations will help defray the costs and keep the station open for travelers with few other affordable options.
