Public transport in Albania is mainly characterized by the use of ''furgons'', the equivalent of [[minibuses]], vans or shuttles identifiable by yellow plates. They are convenient but do not follow fixed schedules, depart when are full, and are not usually equipped with A/C. Prices might be negotiated with the driver before departing. [[Bus]] transport is also available.

[[Tirana]], the capital city does not have yet a central [[bus station]]. Minibuses and buses drop off and pick up passengers from various fixed places around the city and en route.

In anticipation of the construction of the two new Multi-Modal Terminals of Tirana near the Kamza Overpass at the western entrance of Tirana, and at the southeastern entrance of the city near TEG Shopping Center, the Municipality of Tirana has opened three temporary bus terminals to regulate the chaos of public transport between towns in Tirana as follows: 
*'''Northern and Southern Albania Regional Bus Terminal (including Durres)''' at Kamza Overpass (Kthesa e Kamzes) on the site of the future Tirana Terminal
*'''Kosovo and International Lines Bus Terminal''' on Dritan Hoxha St behind Asllan Rusi Sports Palace
*'''Southeastern Albania Regional Bus Terminal''' at Student City (Qyteti Studenti) in southeastern Tirana
