   I don't count Toledo, so generally the last grand stations were built in the   
   1930s.

   The 1930s.   
      
      
   When railroads, then and now, had a non-agency station, they still built at   
   least a little shelter and a seat.  But bus lines would just use a street   
   corner and provide nothing.   
      
   I remember Greyhound using the parking lot of a porn store as its local   
   terminal.   
      
   Also, bus stations often had the reputation--deserved--as being unsavory   
   places.   
      
   For instance, in Newark-Penn, the Greyhound portion just seems not as nice as   
   the railroad proper.
