Details
Varna Bus station is located in the geometric centre of town, near a large roundabout between two main boulevards. The vision is a result of the behaviour of travellers in the last years. They spend less and less time in the building and usually even come directly to the bus stop just before its arrival. This is a result of many factors, one being the online ticketing, which has eliminated the usual early arrival to wait in line. Long layovers to connect with another bus are also becoming less common, due to the increasing supply of transport services and better coordination between carriers.
The Jury‘s Statement
The urban bus station in Varna was designed according to modern mobility needs. The architecture responds to changing travel behaviour by creating a seamless connection between mobility and urban space, thereby increasing travel comfort. ‘Varna Bus Station’ impressively demonstrates how well thought-out design can make urban infrastructure fit for the future.
