May 22, 2018 - As Herceg Novi radio reports, the principal construction work at the central bus station is delayed, although according to earlier announcements by the company D Station from Podgorica, the facility was planned to be reconstructed at the beginning of March. The interior work is ongoing, and there are plans to cover the platform and install protective fences. On the other hand, the season is quickly approaching. Although the preparatory works have not yet interfered with the timetable, with the expected increase in the number of buses and passengers, this could become the center of even more delays and crowding, not to mention the image the facility will create in the phase of tense reconstruction.
So far, the new owners have been able to introduce modern facilities, microphones, phones, and cameras, and provide technical protection and arrange toilets for disabled people. On the list of planned activities are the opening of a tourist agency, new counters, offices and several business premises, a post office counter, a bank, and a small supermarket, as bus stations in larger cities have.
Instead of the outdated and unreadable table information, an LCD monitor will be set up. The interior of the building should have already been painted, and the access plate with lighting and video surveillance arranged, with adequate pedestrian communication. The bus station in Herceg Novi was sold via tender for EUR 370,000. The company D Station wished to improve conditions for the employees as well as for the passengers to ensure their safety.
