The mayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, Eneko Goia, acknowledged on Wednesday that the bus stop "has fallen short"and announced that they are "considering and considering" a possible expansion.

Goia has stated in a speech at the Gipuzkoa al-Dia forum that it was former Mayor Odón Elorza who decided where to locate this station "and not with bad judgment," but that "there was a problem of calculating in time, which was impossible to guess."

He has pointed out that many of the journeys to the station start or target Bilbao and Vitoria, so he believes that "theoretically" the launch of the Basque Y would "lead to the disappearance" of these lines because "the connection with the TAV is more competitive than with the bus".

In this regard, he has regretted that the high speed has not reached the cityand regretted that he does not know when it will arrive, and has therefore indicated that he is considering a possible increase, especially in the waiting area, where "the greatest stress occurs".

The mayor of San Sebastian has stated that they will try to connect the bus station to Adif's "as much as possible," but has predicted that the railway infrastructure manager "has a lot of resistance to these things, is jealous of his stations and doesn't like to be confused."

With regard to the connection of the TAV with Navarre, he stressed that if the link is made from Vitoria it will not be done and questioned whether "what is being sought with this debate is to do nothing".

He points out that "anything improves the current status of the trip", but that the Vitoria-Gasteiz option "does not make it competitive" and also moves away from the Mediterranean corridor.

In this regard, he has stated that he does not understand the position of the PSN, believing that Pamplona will suffer the worst consequences.

Thus, he has defended the Ezkio connection: "It will be more expensive, but it is worth it, and I will continue to defend that position."

It has also expressed the hope that the PNV will support this path and has recalled that the allegations made by the Basque Government to the draft are along these lines.
