Transfer terminal Pilsen/Šumavská - bus station
March 1, 2019
The construction of the new transfer terminal in Šumavská Street in Plzeň was successfully completed a few days before the planned handover on 30 November 2018. Thanks to the construction of the new terminal, the previous three and a half kilometre distance between bus and train transfers was reduced to only a few tens of metres.
The bus terminal is situated in the area between Šumavská Street and the Plzeň main railway station. The capacity of the check-in part of the terminal is ten stands for buses in free order.
On the western side it is connected by escalators with the existing underpass from the main station, the platform is covered by a shelter 134 metres long.
In the eastern part of the terminal, an operational building was built to house toilets and sanitary facilities with a room for short-term rest for bus drivers. An elevator is located adjacent to the service building for wheelchair access.
There is a car park in front of the terminal. There are four short-term parking spaces and two disabled parking spaces.
Towards the east of the new terminal there is a parking area which also serves as a turning point for trolleybuses of the Pilsen City Transport Company.
