Monterey Transit Plaza
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monterey Transit Plaza is the main transit center in Monterey, California. It is operated by Monterey-Salinas Transit, but also served by Amtrak Thruway buses and the Monterey/Salinas Airbus.
It is located at the southern end of Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey, bordered by Munras Avenue and Pearl and Tyler Streets.
The site is officially named Jules Simoneau Plaza, commemorating the friendship of Jules Simoneau and Robert Louis Stevenson.
The Transit Plaza is not staffed, and has no facilities besides a bicycle rack and drinking fountain. Payphones and public restrooms are located nearby, but not on-site.
