International Passenger Bus Terminal of Ashgabat (Aşgabat şäherindäki halkara ýolagçy awtomenzili), is the main bus station of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. Located in the north of the city, it was opened on 5 September 2014. It is the largest bus station in Turkmenistan.[1]
In 2012, the city of Ashgabat decided to build an international passenger bus station which would be able to serve up to a few dozen long-distance and suburban bus routes.[2] To do this, a site was chosen in the northern part of Ashgabat. The bus station was commissioned on September 5, 2014.[3] Construction was carried out by Turkmen construction company Muhammet-Balkan.
