Architecture
Following a public tender for the city of Munich in 2002 the contract for the design of the architects Auer was handed Weber Associates.

User frequency
The premises located above the stops were due to their lack of appeal to tenants for years in the criticism. At the opening of the bus station, only six of the 17 rental space could be rented. Due to the low frequency of daily customers only 1,500 persons compared to the planned 8,000 to 10,000 shortened 2011, several tenants their payments to the project developer Hochtief. This then sued them to pay the full rent. The District Court of Munich I decided in early 2013 in a first case in favor of the tenant. This may reduce its rent by half, as there has been obvious mistakes in planning around the central bus station. Due to the deregulation of the Fernbusmarktes in Germany stood from the beginning in 2013 a significant improvement in the use of a zobs. Thus, the average arrivals and departures per day increased by 80 buses per day in 2010 to 135 per day in 2013. Opening to the bus station was 42,000 buses per year, ie an average of 115 buses per day, was reckoned.
