A Portrait of Tel Aviv Central Bus Station

A megastructure of vast proportions that took 26 years to build, weaving together infrastructure, urban detritus and immigrant culture, in 2.5million square feet (230,000m²) of vibrant, and variously cavernous and labyrinthine interior spaces spread over 10floors and 4.4 hectares (11 acres)... this video shows some of the interior (this building is all interior) & its life. For a more in depth look, see this article over on WorldBin: http://world-bin.blogspot.com/2011/01/megastructural-infrastructure-tel-aviv....

Glad you liked the video & it reminded you of good times. Plenty of work in the Bus transport industry over there!

We lived near the Bus station(Matalon St), and we had to move because of the noise of the buses.
