Donostia's refurbished bus station will have new access from the outside

Ten years after opening its doors, the San Sebastian bus station will be refurbished. Mayor Jon Insausti has explained the details of the project. The project aims to respond to the increase in travel experienced in recent years, strengthen the safety of the facilities and adapt the equipment to the new mobility needs of the city.

Insausti has stressed that reformis"a strong response to the current needs and shortcomings that we have suffered for years, but also a task to anticipate the city's future mobility needs."

The new station will have greater capacity  for transport and waiting services. The station's 21 dams will be used for regular passenger operation, increasing infrastructure capacity and facilitating the entry of new services.

The station will have lathes to access the bus area and a new accessto reinforce night security in the five dams that will serve during night hours, so that during less movement hours the rest of the station can be closed and users can concentrate on a single controlled entry and exit point, improving security and access management.

This new architectural volume is integrated with the environment and will also include a small additional cafeteria space and a new bicycle parking directly connected to the city's bidegorris network, as well as rearranging the interior spaces.

The work will be carried out in four phases to ensure the operation of the station at all times and to avoid temporary closures or service transfers. The new access will first be built and vertical communication elements will be adapted.
