Tel Aviv Central Bus Station is the second largest bus terminal in the world. It is located in the southern part of Tel Aviv, Israel, in the Neve Sha'anan district, the Rova 8 administrative district and the Rova Darom self-governing territorial unit.

It is located in the southern part of Tel Aviv, about 2 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast, at an altitude of about 30 meters. Not far from the eastern edge of the complex, the so-called Ajalon Motorway, Highway 20, passes, which together with the railway line and the Nachal Ajalon stream form the main north-south communication axis of the Tel Aviv agglomeration. The station is connected to the street network by Levinski Street, which runs along its northern side.

Construction of the station began in 1967. According to the state from 1971, the building had already partially completed the outer skeleton. However, the work then slowed down significantly. The designer of the building was Ram Karmi and the developer was Arje Piltz. The rough construction was completed in 1976, but it was then that construction was stopped for many years. Awaiting settlement after the collapse of the construction company Chefciba. One of its founders, Mordechai Jon, eventually bought the station (to this day his company owns 53%) and only then could the construction of the terminal continue. The station was not opened until 1993. It occupies a plot of land with an area of 4.4 hectares, has several floors and 230,000 square meters of interior space. The building is the subject of professional and lay criticism as unnecessarily large, confusing and poorly connected with the surrounding city. Some architects even propose its demolition and restoration of the original scale of the building. Several blocks of the original development fell victim to the construction of the station. Not far away was the Old Tel Aviv Central Bus Station.

The station serves Egged, Connex, Superbus, Metropoline and Nateev Express intercity bus routes as well as local Dan, Egged and Kavim city and suburban buses.
