New bus station (Or: Den Haag Centraal)

The bus station at Den Haag Centraal is now ready for use! There’s still a bit of construction going on, but passengers can use the new area.

Here is how it used to look:

Note that the bus lanes are perpendicular from where passengers enter the area to catch a bus (so that the non-HTM buses tend to be all the way at the end, a bit of a walk).

And here is how it looks now:

This photo is taken from the entrance to the bus area. Now the bus lanes are parellel to the passenger, with large boards and information about departure times over each lane so that you can quickly see which bus lane you need to go to. There’s also a lot more light in the area, which is a huge contrast to the shadow-filled spaces the previous bus station had.

It’s definitely a welcome change to the previous version. If you have time and you’re in The Hague, go check it out!
