Routes

Martin Luther King Jr. Transportation Center

The MLK Transportation Center serves as the primary hub of Sioux City Transit, located at 505 Nebraska Street in downtown Sioux City. In addition to serving all 10 Sioux City Transit routes, the facility also serves the intercity bus carrier Jefferson Lines. The facility was constructed in February 2003 for $11.6 million. At the time, it served Greyhound Lines buses as well, but Greyhound eliminated Sioux City service in August 2004. The transportation center offers a spacious lobby for travelers to wait indoors for their buses, retail space, Sioux City Transit headquarters, 472 parking spaces, and skywalk accessibility to the Orpheum Theatre, Frances Building and access to all of the buildings in the skywalk system.
