Herman Ivory Terminal
editThe Herman Ivory Terminal, located at 351 Morris Avenue, is the primary transfer hub for MATS. The $2.8 million facility opened August 1, 2015 with space for MATS and for Greyhound Lines buses and includes an indoor waiting area and customer service desk. The bus terminal replaced a previous one on the same site, after nine months of construction and over a decade of planning.[3]
