 * Wisconsin Coach Lines

Stops
This is the list of 49 active intercity bus stops serving 33 cities in Minnesota. This list does not include stops that are served only by commuter buses and not intercity buses. This list also does not include Tornado Bus Company stops, due to the difficulty of obtaining information on routes and stop locations.

Attributes
The bus station building sits in Arlington Heights, just over the border from Cincinnati proper. The terminal is bordered by Galbraith Road to the south, Elliott Avenue to the north and Waldman Drive to the east. The main entrance is located on Waldman Drive. The bus station is managed by Greyhound Lines, but also serves Barons Bus Lines and Flixbus.

Early stations
The first intercity bus station in Kansas City was the Union Bus Terminal, which opened in 1929 at 917 McGee Street. On March 19, 1967, a new Greyhound bus terminal opened at 1111 Holmes Street. The new terminal was designed by Kivett & Myers for $3 million, and included a 300 space parking facility, 12 bus bays, a cafeteria, cocktail lounge and games area. It was expected to serve 70 daily departures and 70 arrivals per day. Upon opening, the facility served Central Greyhound, Crown Coach Company, Finley-Shotwell Bus Lines, Jefferson Transportation Company, Kansas City-Leavenworth Bus Lines, and Southern Kansas Greyhound Lines. However, Trailways buses continued to use the Union Bus Terminal on McGee Street. By the late 1980s however, the station was beginning to show its age, and the building's owners began negotiating a lease to redevelop the site as a sporting good store.

Current station
In 2021, Greyhound was sold to FlixMobility, the owner of Flixbus. However, this did not include any bus stations and later that year, the downtown Greyhound station was sold to Chavez Properties for $4.25 million with the intention of redeveloping the site. As a result, Barons Bus Lines announced in late October 2022 that it would moved its' operations to Arlington Heights the next month. On November 1, both Barons and Greyhound commenced services at the new Galbraith Road station, allowing the downtown station site to be redeveloped. The trailer ticket office is intended to be temporary, until a permanent structure can be built. However, the current facility lacks the amenities of the former station and is located in an area which is difficult to access without a car.
