I don't think Concord Coach or Amtrak would lose any passengers to Greyhound; rather, Concord and Amtrak would gain new passengers coming from locations elsewhere on the Greyhound network who transfer to CC or AMTK to get to places on those networks. Plus, Greyhound would most likely gain all sorts of operational flexibility and service expansion potential that they don't currently have at 950 Congress due to the size limitations of the parcel.Since the Portland rail relocation study essentially said Concord has no intention of moving (and they own the PTC complex and are currently redoing their parking lot), any new transportation center would at best include Amtrak and Greyhound, and I don't see Greyhound doing much to compete against Concord Coach's nonstop movie buses with direct-to-Logan service.
