French term

gare routière

Non-PRO French to English Other
 Gestion de projet : mise en place des 35 heures pour tous les départements de l’exploitation, mise en place du programme de fidélisation, refonte du système de facturation de la gare routière, mise en place de la nouvelle gare routière du Terminal 2, création du système de téléaffichage des bus sur les gares routières.

From someone's CV. In this context "depot" doesn't seem right - these projects were whilst working at Nice airport.
