Monterey Transit Plaza

The Monterey Transit Plaza is the main transit center in Monterey, California. It is operated by Monterey-Salinas Transit, but also served by Amtrak Thruway buses and the Monterey/Salinas Airbus.

It is located at Jules Simoneau Plaza, a city park formed by the intersection of Munras Avenue, Pearl Street, and Tyler Street near the southern end of Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey. The site is named to commemorate Simoneau's friendship with Robert Louis Stevenson.

The Transit Plaza is not staffed and offers no facilities besides a bicycle rack and drinking fountain. However, payphones and public restrooms are located nearby, and MST operates a customer service center at its "Bus Stop Shop" two blocks away.

In lieu of gate numbers, boarding locations are identified simply by the street name bordering the side of the Plaza at which the bus boards. Pearl Street has an additional "Ordway Gate" opposite the Plaza at Ordway Drugs.

The Plaza can accommodate nine buses, plus one at Ordway Gate. Most departures follow a 15-minute "pulsed" schedule to allow for timed transfers.
