+== California Is Exploring High-Speed Buses That Connect LA and San Francisco in Just Over 3 Hours ==
+The buses would do 140 MPH on the freeway.
+Bruce Gil - May 15, 2026, 1:10 pm ET
+While construction is still underway on California’s long-delayed high-speed rail system, the Golden State is now looking into high-speed buses that could someday travel up to 140 miles per hour.
+The California Department of Transportation, also known as Caltrans, has been researching the concept for at least a year and discussed it recently during a webinar.
+The basic idea is to build dedicated bus lanes and stations along existing California freeways.
+“Long-distance travel by bus could become an attractive and affordable way to go between California metropolitan areas,” Ryan Snyder, Caltrans’s feasibility studies manager, told local news station KCRA on Wednesday.

+== America’s Greyhound bus stations are disappearing ==

+ Chicago, America’s third-biggest city, is on the verge of losing its only intercity bus terminal, jeopardizing access for many low-income, elderly and minority travelers with few other transportation options. It’s part of a nationwide trend.
+Greyhound’s lease for its terminal in Chicago expires next month. Not only would that mean Greyhound could leave the city, but FlixBus, Barons, Burlington Trailways and other lines that also operate from the terminal could be forced to leave as well. A representative for Greyhound told CNN that there are no proposals for a lease extension. The city, which regulates curbside pickup and drop-off locations, told CNN that it is looking for alternative options for facilities. Both Greyhound and city leaders say they are committed to finding a solution.
+“Intercity bus service is critically important for so many people,” said Chicago Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, who has worked to save the station.
+If the terminal closes, Chicago will be the single largest city in the Northern Hemisphere without an intercity bus terminal, according to DePaul University professor Joseph Schwieterman and researchers at the school’s Chaddick Institute of Metropolitan Development.
