Aberdeen Bus Station — Attraction in Aberdeen City

About the only positive thing about this station is it's proximity to Union Sq, plenty of places to sit and have a coffee. The bad stuff... no information.

Getting on a megabus to either Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee is a hassle because its just one area (uncovered from the elements)and a swarm of people confused about where they're going. With a very Loud, rude "organiser" screaming at people where to go. My daughter is neurodivergent. She's very high functioning. But she had a meltdown being here trying to get back to uni. But this kind of situation is outdated, rough and needs changing. The buses themselves are always dirty, smelly uncomfortable and expensive... It used to be a cheaper alternative to trains.
