A Coruña Will Open New Intermodal Bus Terminal on 3 November

ADIF has not formally receipted the underground parking, which leaves that facility closed and exposes coordination gaps between regional and local authorities.

Overview

  • The Xunta confirmed the new San Cristóbal intermodal bus terminal will begin interurban operations on 3 November, shifting services away from the Caballeros station.
  • The underground parking will not open with the terminal because ADIF has not signed its formal reception after disagreements with the city over who will manage the facility.
  • Municipal leaders say the route reorganisation mainly relocates departures to the new terminal without adding direct links to the Universidade da Coruña or extending services to several hospitals.
  • Local councils including Oleiros and Sada have demanded a circular shuttle and frequency restores to avoid longer journeys for commuters and students once the terminal opens.
  • Negotiations over ownership and future use of the old Caballeros site are ongoing as the city seeks a negotiated transfer to avoid litigation, with Vigo's recent cession used as a reference point.
