Brno's transit system links the city center with trolleybuses, trams, and trains. Stops are strategically placed near amenities, enhancing convenience. The new gateway railway line prioritizes sustainability and integrates seamlessly with the built and natural environment. It features a central concourse plaza, tracks, a museum, a cycling track, and a city viewpoint, fostering vibrant centers and a sense of community.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Brno's station prioritizes functionality, boasting efficient vehicular flow and seamless tram connections. Its open concourse encourages community engagement, with security facilities, market pods, amphitheaters, and a historical museum. Pedestrian friendly bridges facilitate connectivity and social interaction, offering panoramic views. The design aims for a pleasant, safe, and interactive space, addressing structural concerns with durable materials and prefabrication techniques.
