From Greyhound Bus Terminal to Temple University
The easiest and smartest thing to do is to take a taxi cab to your destination. Using public transportation in a city you do not know is sometimes confusing, especially while you are carrying luggage with you. The taxi ride should not be much more than $15.00. It is worth the price.
