The Abandoned Bus Terminal in Phoenix's I-10 Deck Park Tunnel

Have you heard of this lost transit hub? The bus hub would have been called Papago Intermodal Transfer Station and would have served bus commuters to Downtown Phoenix. The Deck Park Tunnel was recently renamed to Dean Lindsay Tunnel.

Do you think the bus terminal should be revived?

I'm glad the neighborhoods fought against as much as they could. Too many neighborhoods get torn apart for highways!

Nice to see where 12 news got their idea.

I would love to see this bus tunnel get used! It would be so cool to take an elevator up to the park

[@Urban_Avenues]

I know originally the light rail was not on Central. However, now that there is light rail on Central, the elevators would serve a greater transit base. I feel that because of the light rail, there is even more reason to use the bus tunnel again! It would also be awesome to have artwork as you go up.

It would be cool to see a commuter rail line -- or even high speed rail line -- run through the tunnel, with a station under Hance Park that connects to Light Rail and future BRT or Streetcar lines/expansions.

[@Urban_Avenues]

That sounds like an incredible idea! A commuter or high-speed rail line running through the tunnel would greatly enhance connectivity. Having a station under Hance Park that connects to the Light Rail and future BRT would create a major transit hub, making the area more vibrant and accessible. I know the west side of the I-10 was built to house some sort high-capacity transit.

@@Urban_Avenues -- just remember where you first heard this brilliant idea 😉 ...I would like to request naming rights for the "Schubert Transit Hub"! lol ...but seriously, it has been a dream of mine for a while to see rail in that section of the tunnel (especially before ADOT tries to do something dumb with it).

A commuter rail would slay

All Interstates should come with Interstate rail lines running at 125 MPH or higher like Brightine is doing to connect Las Vegas and Los Angeles... Next stop, Phoenix?
