Beirut Charles Helou bus station

Charles Helou bus station is a recent construction on the northern side of Beirut city centre, along the harbour and under the major highway running to the north. However, it appears underutilised with all offices closed and just a few information booths open. Larger buses are mostly Syrian. Connexion has regular departures to Tripoli from here. However, the general impression is one of neglect. A huge contrast with modern highrises behind it!
