The new bus station and pedestrian walkway were officially opened on 22 May, both constructed by ACCIONA, and which will connect to the Santiago de Compostela train station in Galicia.

The new bus station, wholly financed by the regional government of Galicia with an investment of more than €10 million, has a total area of 8,870 m2 spread over two levels. The lower level houses the bus bays and the bus lanes and turning areas, while the upper level, covering more than 2,700 m2 is dedicated to passenger services and the station’s daily management.

Around two million passengers are expected to use the station every year, which has a total of 29 bays designed for intercity and metropolitan buses. One of the station’s key characteristics is its accessibility, with facilities that are fully adapted for people with reduced mobility or visual impairments, such as tactile paving and signage. The new station also has toilets for people with ostomy devices, among other facilities.

The other infrastructure that has come into service is the pedestrian walkway, which has become a key element in facilitating the connection between the bus station and the train station in barely three minutes, further helping to integrate the city’s historical centre with the Pontepedriña neighbourhood and the Parque de las Brañas del Sar.
