What are the requirements for a large bus station? It should serve suburban, urban, and intercity flights, cooperate with linear and rolling stock. Some suppliers and drivers require cargo protection. At a large bus station, such a place should be provided. The main parts of the a / v are: the station building, places (aprons) intended for boarding and disembarking passengers, entrances to the aprons (isolated from the public road). In turn, inThe building of the bus station itself should have: a waiting room, a ticket office, a dining room or a buffet, a left-luggage office, office space for staff. Often there are kiosks and shops near the station. The bus station should have special parking lots for rolling stock that are waiting for their flight. A great addition would be your own bus wash.

Severny bus station (St. Petersburg)
The bus station has the official name "Severny", it is located in the village of Murino, and the nearest metro station is "Devyatkino".

Exit, then a small square and in front of you is a building - the Severny bus station (St. Petersburg). It is considered the central bus station of the Leningrad region. The Devyatkino station belongs to the St. Petersburg metro, but still the area is too provincial, you will not find special service here.
Inconvenience to passengers
Until 2010, the nearest metro station to the bus station was "Ligovsky Prospekt", to get to it more than a kilometer. It was extremely inconvenient for passengers to walk with large luggage to the bus. It was possible to use a special shuttle bus that transported people to the bus station. The opening of the Obvodny Kanal station made the task easier, it became much easier to get there, the distance was halved. Bus stops of bus routes No. 3 and No. 26, trams No. 25, No. 46 and No. 16 are located half a kilometer from the bus station. Buses No. 74 and No. 76 will be delivered directly to the bus station. Minibus No. 124 has the final stop "Bus Station", it departs from Theater and Sennaya Square, from Vasilyevsky Island, from Vitebsky Station. 200 meters from the station there is also a bus stop number 170.
The location of the bus station in the center creates the problem of leaving the city. Buses spend more than an hour to overcome traffic jams and leave the territory of the metropolis. There are projects to move the bus station to the southern part of the city (Kupchino) and to the east (Kudrovo). Bus stations are planned to be opened for ease of movement(St. Petersburg) in all parts of the city. So the Northern Bus Station, opened in 2007, is doing its job perfectly. Without delay, transport departs from it to the cities of the northern and eastern directions. After the St. Petersburg dam was opened, buses also went to the west. In some points (for example, Tikhvin) you can leave from both stations. Buses departing from the North Station have the letter "D" (Devyatkino) in the number.
