I believe that a waiting area with restrooms and vending machines for passengers is being built on the bus terminal deck level. Presumably better display screens are part of the expansion process. I would not expect anything more than a basic facility, because under the proposed Master Plan for DC Union Station, the entire parking garage is to be torn down after a new underground garage is built and, without checking the plan summary, a new bus terminal at the north end of the planned expanded concourse.I've used WAS for Megabus before, and there's not really any good waiting area for buses at WAS. Unless I missed something, I can't find out if my bus is here if I go inside (there's no screens or such), so it's basically waiting in a parking ramp. I would think a true intermodal facility would make it easy to wait inside the main building for any mode of transportation, bus included.
From what I can tell, in the long run they really need a dedicated bus access path to/from WAS. Mind you, this might be the construction in front of the station, but the buses going in and out can make a mess of traffic given how they respond (or, in some cases, don't) at the traffic lights.I believe that a waiting area with restrooms and vending machines for passengers is being built on the bus terminal deck level.
