Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof München (ZOB München, Central bus station Munich) is a central bus station located in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The terminal has an area of 17,221 square metres (185,370 sq ft). The bus station was established on 11 September 2009 and is a major transportation hub for bus and train with national and international traffic. The bus station also has spacious offices and retail space for retailers that give it an airport-like character. The nearest S-Bahn station is Munich Hackerbrücke station.

Location and description

The central bus station was opened on 11 September 2009 and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Hackerbrücke S-Bahn station and not far from Munich Central Station. The Hackerbrücke, which is located directly next door, is connected to the bus station building via two bridge bridges. Arnulfpark, a modern city quarter with residential and office buildings, cultural facilities and restaurants, is located in the immediate vicinity.

The ZOB was designed as a multifunctional

discotheque in the basement
.

Architecture

After a

ICE powerhead, which was to fit in with the redesign of Munich's main railway station
discussed at the time. Almost 31 km of tubes were used for the aluminium tube design, which is unique in Germany.

Operation of the bus station

Owner

In 2014, the ZOB was acquired by the Munich issuing house

Bavarian Red Cross.[3]

User

The bus station is mainly used by numerous long-distance bus operators, but also by

Munich tramway
.

Fees

Buses stopping at the ZOB pay 6.00 euros for half an hour and 11.00 euros for a full hour's stay at the opening.[4] In 2018 the prices were 8.00 and 11.00 euros respectively. In addition, there are other price scales of up to 56.00 euros for the maximum permitted parking duration of 24 hours.[5]

Criticism

The

tenants. For the opening of the bus station, only six of the 17 rental spaces could be let.[4] Due to the low customer frequency of only 1,500 persons per day compared to the planned 8,000 to 10,000, several tenants cut their payments to the project developer Hochtief in 2011, whereupon Hochtief filed a lawsuit. The Landgericht München I ruled in favour of a tenant in a first case in 2013.[6]

The deregulation of the long-distance bus market in Germany led to a significant improvement in the use of the ZOB from the beginning of 2013.[7] Average arrivals and departures increased from 80 buses per day in 2010[8] to 135 per day in 2013. 42,000 buses per year, i.e. an average of 115 buses per day, were expected at the opening of the bus station.[8]
