The central station of public transport of Pafos operates from today in the brand new facilities that have been erected in the traditional area of "Karavella".
Now, passengers will have the opportunity to be served, both for urban and intercity routes, in a modern space, with every facility and technological upgrade.
After the completion of the new premises, the competent authorities of the district turn their attention to the many other projects that need to be carried out in order to be able to say that Pafos has acquired modern public transport infrastructure.
Such problems, they stress, concern the service of passengers from Pafos Airport to the district of Polis Chrysochous, the need to adjust and densify the routes to serve a large number of scheduled flights from Pafos International Airport and the better service of passengers in the countryside.
Local authorities and stakeholders also talk about the need to strengthen the routes from Coral Bay to the centre of Paphos and vice versa, as well as from Geroskipou to the centre of Paphos, without the need for passengers to change two buses and buy two tickets, one to Kato Paphos and another from there to the centre.
Bodies directly related to tourism, such as the Pafos Tourism Board, believe that bus stops and shelters need further improvements, since both inside and outside urban areas the situation is characterized as unacceptable. In many cases, he points out, there are not even shelters and if there are, they are dissimilar and diverse both in design, construction and materials, while they do not include any trace of technology.
