The chief executive of Peter Pan Bus Lines on Wednesday offered to buy the abandoned Roundhouse police headquarters on Race Street and turn it into a new intercity bus terminal for Philadelphia.
“I also like the old police station … and I’ll develop it for you,” Peter A. Picknelly, chairman and CEO of the family-owned company, said at a City Council hearing focused on the need for a station with shelter and off-road loading and unloading.
“I’ll buy it, I’ll pay for it, and lease it back to the city — and I’ll get it done quick,“ he said.
Philadelphia’s inability to find a terminal for intercity bus passengers has been a civic embarrassment since Greyhound abruptly ended the lease on its longtime Filbert Street station in June 2023.
