Indeed, even today there is no intra-city transport terminal in the capital.
Different changes including supplanting the F-9 private part with a recreation center, and changing the I-12 and I-15 modern divisions to private areas.
E-11, initially a private segment, was given the status of a private area with lodging plans – more than 70 multi-story business structures have been worked there since.
