**Solomos Square** (Greek: Πλατεία Σολωμού; Turkish: *Solomos Meydanı*) is a [square](/source/Plateia) at the intersection of [Rigenis Street](/source/Rigenis_Street) and Omirou Avenue in central [Nicosia](/source/Nicosia), Cyprus. It acts as one of the six main bus-hubs of the city,[1] and it is estimated that over 50,000 people pass through it daily. The square was remodelled in 2010, following the initiative of former Mayor [Eleni Mavrou](/source/Eleni_Mavrou).[2]

## Buses

In 2022, the [Nicosia](/source/Nicosia) public bus network was revamped by Cyprus Public Transport (CPT). The project was completed in two phases, beginning on 29 January 2022, and 28 February 2022 for the second phase. Focus was on the decentralisation of Solomou Square as the only bus hub, with the addition of five others.[3] Emphasis was placed on better and faster connectivity to the city, with newer routes and the change of the system's route numbers, as well as [5G](/source/5G) Wi-Fi On-Board. Furthermore, the creation of a new bus app (PAME App) has allowed for more convenient travel between stations and even displaying [bike-sharing](/source/Bicycle-sharing_system) stations.[1]

Other than the [city](/source/Nicosia)'s bus network, Solomou Square is also the main station in Nicosia for InterCity Buses, which is the public bus service which offers transport to all major cities on the [island](/source/Cyprus).
