Construction delays on the $2.2 billion Transbay Transit Center have pushed back the opening of the mega-bus station and rooftop park until at least August.
“We haven’t penciled in the date yet, but that’s what we are talking about,” said Mohammed Nuru, San Francisco’s Public Works director and a member of the multi-jurisdiction board overseeing construction of the replacement for the Transbay Terminal.
The board once hoped to finish construction of the four-block-long building — known officially as the Salesforce Transit Center — by late last year and start AC Transit cross-bay service this month. But construction delays have pushed back the completion date to June, and even then, there are a few finishing touches to be made and 700 AC Transit bus drivers to be trained on getting into and out of the new center.
