The central Omnibusbahnhof was opened on September 11, 2009 and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Hackerbrücke S-Bahn station and not far from the Munich Central Station. The Hackerbrücke right next door is connected to the building of the bus station via two bridge bars. The Arnulfpark, a modern city district with residential and office buildings, cultural institutions and gastronomy, is located in the immediate vicinity.

The ZOB was designed as a multifunctional real estate with a floor area of ​​around 25,000 m², seven shot and different levels of use. The bus station, which is located below the ground floor, is accessible via Arnulfstraße and has 29 stops where national and international bus off traffic and a large part of the Munich tourist bus traffic are handled. Via escalators or elevators, travelers reach the first floor, where the shopping arcade is located with retail and catering areas that give the ZOB an airport-like character. [first] The tenants of the upper floor are, for example, Lidl, DM, McDonald’s, TUI and Vapiano. On three other upper floors and about 10,300 m² of space there are office space, also a parking deck and a discotheque in the basement.

After a public tender for the city of Munich in 2002, the order for the draft was handed over to the architectural firm Auer+Weber+associated. The futuristic outer facade is modeled on the shape of an ICE drive head, which was to fit a redesign of the Munich main station at the time. Almost 31 km tubes were installed for the aluminum tube design, which is unique in Germany.

In 2014 the ZOB was acquired by Munich Wealth Management Capital Holding, [2] Previous owner was the project developer Hochtief. The bus station is operated by the Bavarian Red Cross. [3]

The bus station is mainly used by numerous long -distance bus providers, but also tour operators. Buses from companies such as Flixbus or IC Bus, which offer national and international connections, run the ZOB regularly. City traffic buses are excluded because the public connection is made via the S-Bahn and the Munich tram.

fees [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Buses that ride the zob paid 6.00 euros for half and 11.00 euros for a whole hour of stay at the opening. [4] In 2018, prices were 8.00 and 11.00 euros. In addition, there are further price relays of up to 56.00 euros for the maximum permissible parking time of 24 hours. [5]

The premises above the stops were criticized for a few years due to their initially lacking attractiveness for tenants. At the opening of the bus station, only six of the 17 rental areas could be rented out. [4] Due to the low customer frequency of only 1,500 people per day compared to the planned 8,000 to 10,000 in 2011, several tenants shortened their payments to the project developer Hochtief, whereupon Hochtief complaint submitted. In 2013, the Munich I regional court decided in a first case in favor of a tenant. [6]

Due to the deregulation of the long -distance bus market in Germany, a significant improvement in the use of the ZOB was established from the beginning of 2013. [7] So the average arrival and departure of 80 buses per day increased in 2010 [8] At 135 per day 2013. At the opening of the bus station, 42,000 buses per year, an average of 115 buses per day, was expected. [8]
