Eugene, Ore. — Greyhound has launched bus service out of Springfield, Ore., and sold the architecturally iconic downtown Eugene building the bus company built in 1940.
Greyhound recently began daily trips out of Lane Transit District’s downtown Springfield station, after signing a lease in September to open a small ticket office in the transit district building, the company said.
Meanwhile, Greyhound Lines Inc. sold the shuttered downtown Eugene station to a business entity managed by E. Danell Giustina, a member of the Giustina Resources timber company, according to a deed filed in Lane County on Monday. The Giustinas also are prominent downtown Eugene landlords, with property holdings including full or partial ownership of the Patterson Tower apartments, the One East Broadway office building, the land leased by Whole Foods and a multitenant restaurant building north of the Greyhound building, according to county and state records.
