Overview
- Residents’ platform called a demonstration for 11:00 today outside the Gipuzkoa provincial headquarters in San Sebastián to demand fixes to Lurraldebus service.
- Riders report buses arriving already full, often from Hernani, causing missed boardings and long waits at peak hours and during txotx-season weekends.
- Astigarraga’s population has climbed about 60% since 2012 to nearly 8,000, a growth locals argue has not been matched by transit capacity.
- The town council asks for a direct link to hospital and university areas to start in 2026, either by extending Dbus line 35 or creating a new Lurraldebus line without cutting existing routes.
- Further requests include raising BU13 frequency to every 15 minutes on weekdays and 20 on weekends, launching special services from Astigarraga, and using articulated buses at peak times, with no detailed plan yet from the Diputación.
