Opened in 2015, the transit center features an indoor waiting area, covered bus bays, a park-and-ride lot, and pick-up/drop-off lanes.
[4] Located at the corner of Lackawanna and Cliff avenues in downtown Scranton, the transit center is close to Steamtown National Historic Site, the Electric City Trolley Museum, and the Marketplace at Steamtown.
The site is also adjacent to the Pocono Mainline of the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad, and is intended to accommodate proposed expansion of the bus station into an intermodal train and bus terminal with rail service to New York City via the Lackawanna Cut-Off.
[6] From 1908 through 1970, passenger trains to Scranton used the Lackawanna Railroad's large station, now a Radisson hotel.
[7] The Lackawanna Cut-Off Restoration Project is an ongoing effort to revive passenger rail from New York to Scranton, with construction already underway on Phase I: an NJ Transit extension from Lake Hopatcong to Andover, New Jersey.
