Downtown Station

Greyhound Bus service is available in Boise. Train service is not available in Boise, although if you look up Amtrak service in Boise - you're routed to the bus station on Bannock St. BTW, the greyhound logo is a classic example of Art Deco, and Art Deco themes can be found at several locations on Bannock St.
