Historical note
The Central Bus Station in Rivne was completed in 1966. Designed in the spirit of functionalism, it featured reinforced concrete structures and expansive glass walls, which filled the main waiting hall with natural light.

Today, the building still serves as the main bus terminal of Rivne, hosting domestic and international routes. The structure has retained its core modernist architectural lines despite minor renovations and updated signboards.
