Port Authority Bus Terminal
The
Port Authority Bus Terminal
(
PABT
) is the main gateway for interstate buses into
Manhattan
in
New York City
. It is owned and operated by the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
(PANYNJ). Colloquially called the Port Authority, the
bus terminal
is located in
Midtown
at 625
Eighth Avenue
between 40th Street and
42nd Street
, one block east of the
Lincoln Tunnel
and one block west of
Times Square
. The PABT, opened in 1950 between 8th and 9th Avenues and 40th and 41st Streets, was built to consolidate the many different private terminals spread across
Midtown Manhattan
. A second wing extending to
42nd Street
was added in 1979. It is one of three bus terminals operated by the PANYNJ, the others being the
George Washington Bridge Bus Station
in
Upper Manhattan
and the
Journal Square Transportation Center
in
Jersey City
.
