There are no public toilets for passengers and drivers; no proper benches to sit on; no real rest room for the drivers who gather as best as they can in the shade close to the kiosks, shifting mobile benches as they need them. Part of the area, which is not properly shaded from wind, rain or sunshine, is still a building site. It is definitely not fit for purpose.
