There are two primary bus stations in Durrës, although the entire length of Rruga Adria and Rruga e Dëshmorëve is also treated as a station and often referred to as Pranvera (Spring) Station. It’s mostly only local buses that depart from these stops. If you’re looking at Google Maps for stops along this route, be aware that there are duplications and incorrect photos attached to the bus stop markers.
The two main bus stations are Stacioni Autobusavë Durrës (Durrës Bus Station), located next to Stacioni i Trenit (Train Station), for buses to the North, Northeast and the Airport, and Stacioni Autobusavë Plepa (Plepa Bus Station), for buses to the South, Southeast and Tirana. These stations host both intercity and local area/regional services.
Stacioni Autobusavë Durrës (Durrës Bus Station)
Located next to the under-construction rail network terminus, this station is the start and terminal point for the Airport shuttle service. Local services for Golem and Shijak also leave from the section of Rruga Adria just outside the station perimeter.

Stacioni Autobusavë Plepat (Plepa Station)
Plepa Station sits at the junction of Rruga Pavaresia and Rruga Shkembi i Kavajes by the Rotondo shopping mall. If you’re arriving into Plepa Station from Durrës town, the Plazh (light blue), Unaza (dark blue) or Golem (red) buses can bring you and take you back to town. The Golem bus stops on both sides of the road, so you can alight there if coming from Golem itself. The Plazh and Unaza buses terminate at their respective stops and return.
