KAHULUI, Hawaii — A new transit center for buses will open in Kahului in a month.  

Maui Bus Kahului Transit Center, which opens on Nov. 20, will feature open-air covered seating, restroom facilities and a ticket booth.

Maui County will transfer all bus services from the Queen Kaʻahumanu Center to the new transit center once it opens. The Queen Kaʻahumanu Center will close on Nov. 19. 

“We look forward to the opening of the new transit center, which will provide a convenient location for bus riders,” said County Department of Transportation Director Marc Takamori in a statement, “We would like to express the department’s sincere gratitude to Queen Kaʻahumanu Center for its invaluable partnership over the years. Their support has been instrumental in providing essential transportation services to the Maui community.”

The opening of the Maui Bus Kahului Transit Center is possible after a certificate of occupancy was issued on Oct. 10, according to the County of Maui Department of Transportation.

The new transit center is near the Kahului Public Library and faces the Kahului Lani apartment complex on Vevau Street.
