Chicago has seen intercity bus transit since 1928, when a union station opened on Roosevelt Road, which served Greyhound Lines and other operators. In 1936, a Trailways bus terminal opened on Randolph Street, which would be in operation until 1987. In 1953, the union station was replaced by another Greyhound terminal, in a more centrally located building on Randolph Street. When the 1953 terminal opened, it was celebrated for bringing a modern terminal to a central location, however, it would later become known as a place of crime and lawlessness. The current bus station was built in 1989 and is for sale as of 2023.
