The Transbay Joint Powers Authority reports that the official opening date of the Transbay Temporary Terminal and the closing of the existing Transbay Terminal will occur on Aug. 7, and at the same time work will start on the demolition of the existing terminal, which was built in 1939.

The Transbay Temporary Terminal, located on Howard and Main streets, will serve as the temporary bus facility until the completion of the new Transbay Transit Center at First and Mission streets in 2017.
