Plans unveiled to rebuild, reimagine Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC Replay Video UP NEXT The Port Authority on Thursday announced plans to rebuild and reimagine New York's decrepit bus terminal, long considered one of the worst public spaces in the city. There are aging tile floors, creaky escalators, and creepy corridors, and the smell of exhaust is practically baked into the building. But the future of the Port Authority Bus Terminal is bright, officials said. "This important step is a turning point in the transformation of the Port Authority Bus Terminal and Manhattan Midtown West into a world-class transportation hub worthy of New York," Governor Andrew Cuomo said. "By completely redeveloping the terminal, adding space for commercial development, improving the commuting experience and removing bus traffic and pollution from the surrounding community, we will show New Yorkers and the world that New York is back, and the future is once again bright."
