Nils Ericson Terminal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nils Ericson Terminal is the major bus terminal in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is placed in the city centre just next to the central railway station (Centralstationen) and across the street from the main shopping centre Nordstan. The main street and most hotels are within walking distance from the terminal.
The terminal serves the entire Västra Götaland County with bus traffic. Bus companies such as Säfflebussen, Swebus Express and Eurolines serve destinations such as Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Hamburg and most countries in Europe, although these long distance buses are stopping 100 meters away from the terminal.
The bus terminal uses the modern system where buses arrive at gates and the passengers enter the buses directly from the air-conditioned terminal, much like in modern airports.
The terminal is named after Nils Ericson, a Swedish inventor and mechanical engineer.
The terminal was drawn by the Norwegian architect, Nils Torp, and received the national Kasper Salin Prize in 1996.
