Berane and the Bus Station: Five Years of Waiting, and Finally a Light at the End of the Tunnel!
Have you ever waited for something so long that you thought it would never happen? Well, the residents of Berane can confirm that it is possible! After five years of wandering and improvised stops right on the street, the end of the agony is finally in sight – a new, modern bus station is on the horizon.
Five Years of Chaos and Improvisation
Imagine waiting for a bus on the street, with no shelter, no platform, while rain or sun beats down on your head. This is exactly what the people of Berane have endured for years. The old shelter was removed because it was unsafe, and the new station has been just an empty dream for years.
Station Purchase and Future Plans
Three months ago, the Berane municipality bought the bus station at an auction for a bit over 300,000 euros. But that’s just the beginning. The local government plans to renovate the entire area, include parking, and finally provide passengers with a safe and modern waiting area.
But Where’s the Money?
Here comes the classic budget story. The municipality currently has no allocated funds for the station’s renovation, so a budget revision is being considered. So, the works might be delayed until the money is found, but promises are there – Berane will get the station it deserves.
How Will the Station Operate?
It’s still undecided whether the station will be owned by a new company, a public-private partnership, or the existing parking service. All options are on the table, and a decision will be made soon.
Why Does This Matter?
A bus station is not just a place to wait for transport. It’s the gateway to the city, the place where passengers first meet Berane. After years of neglect, it’s finally clear that the local government wants to change the city’s image and provide citizens and visitors with a decent space.
Conclusion
Five years of waiting, improvisation, and uncertainty – but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Berane will soon have a modern bus station, and we will watch with a smile as the city changes for the better. Will everything go smoothly? Probably not, but at least it has started!
