The Frankfurt am Main long-distance bus station (also ZOB Frankfurt am Main) is a bus station of the inner-German as well as the international long-distance bus services in downtown the Hessian Big city Frankfurt am Main.

background

The long-distance bus station has 14 bus platforms and was fully opened on April 9, 2019, in 2016 it was partially opened with three bus platforms, which, however, were not passable due to construction work until they were fully opened, so the long-distance buses had to be at the stops in the street area until they were fully opened on Stuttgarter Strasse and Mannheimer Strasse. All 14 bus platforms have been open since the opening on April 9, 2019, but the service facilities and waiting areas on the ground floor of the Intercity Hotel, which was newly built in December 2018, and which can be reached via the south-facing entrance of the building, have not yet opened. The Intercityhotel can be reached by hotel guests via the entrance to the north of the building. In addition to the 14 bus platforms on the premises of the Frankfurt am Main long-distance bus station, there are other long-distance bus stops in front of the main train station Eurolines Further bus stops are located on Frankfurt Airport, Terminal 2.
