" The latest, revised plan for building the Jacksonville Transportation Center would put Greyhound a couple of blocks away from the convention center, not inside it. The shift is part of a study that is charting a way to bring multiple means of travel -- train, bus, car, the Skyway monorail and perhaps someday light rail -- together in a compact area where people can easily switch from one kind of transportation to another."
