The subject was raised during the August session of the City Council. “A transfer hub must be created,” said Mayor Piotr Roman. “For two reasons. First, the County authorities have authorized their company to sell the PKS bus station [pisaliśmy o tym w materiale PKS chce sprzedać dworzec – przyp. „ii”]. If it is sold, it will mean the end of hopes that carriers other than PKS will stop there. The second reason is the European Union’s new funding perspective, which states that transfer hubs—as places where all forms of public transport meet—will have a tremendous chance of receiving funding.
As the mayor emphasized, conceptual work is under way. “Creating a transfer hub could finally lead to the development of the PKP railway station, and students commuting to school would no longer have to wade through mud on Zgorzelecka or at that social-realist, yet still fairly decent, PKS bus station,” Piotr Roman added. “The entire burden of transport will move to the area around the railway station. That is how it should be.
We will return to the matter.
