Goia proposes to move the cafeteria to expand the waiting area of the San Sebastian bus station

According to the mayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, "the forecast that was made at the time was that many of the buses that use this facility at the moment, with Vitoria or Bilbao as their destination of origin, should tend to disappear because when the service of the Basque high-speed train 'Y' is launched it is" more competitive, but that is "delaying a lot."

 

The mayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, Eneko Goia, has put on the table the possibility of moving the cafeteria from the bus station to expand the waiting area of the station.

Asked at a press conference following the Local Government Board on Tuesday about his statements a few days ago in a Diario Vasco forum about the fact that the station was small, Goia said that the bus station in San Sebastian "is suffering the delay in the arrival of the high-speed train".

According to the mayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, "the forecast that was made at the time was that many of the buses that use this facility at the moment, with Vitoria or Bilbao as their destination of origin, should tend to disappear because when the service of the Basque high-speed train 'Y' is launched it is" more competitive, but that is "delaying a lot."

To this he adds that "as a result of the increase in traffic from other sources and destinations", the spaces at that station, "especially in the waiting area", remain "small". In this context, he says, they have begun to consider whether there is any possibility of increasing that station. 

Goia has stated that "in the first instance, the space available to the left, underground, after the Maria Cristina Bridge, may be suitable", so he has raised the possibility of "trying to move the coffee service" from the station so that the space it currently occupies "gives more air to the waiting area".

"It's a very preliminary analysis and we have to keep working, looking at and seeing the real possibilities, but it's on the table," he said, specifying that there's no specific time frame for dealing with this issue, but anyway, "it's not going to be an issue that's going to go on for a long time."
