Governor Sáenz Inaugurates General Güemes Bus Terminal Funded by Salta Province

Completed with over ARS 1,100 million in local funds after national cuts, the terminal is slated to start service in early September once final infrastructure is in place.

Overview

  • The 1,900 m² facility includes closed-circuit video surveillance, an integrated audio system, 13 bus bays and seven ticket booths alongside waiting areas and commercial spaces.
  • Governor Gustavo Sáenz framed the inauguration as a demonstration of provincial self-reliance and urged national legislators to “cut off their hand” before voting against Salta ahead of October’s elections.
  • Initially launched with national financing, the project was carried through by Salta’s administration following funding cuts, with redetermined prices and added works driving costs past ARS 1,100 million.
  • Mayor Carlos Rosso said operations could begin in two to three weeks, pending the relocation of temporary ticket booths, internet setup and completion of adjacent street and drainage works.
  • Officials say the terminal will strengthen connectivity on Route 34, improve passenger safety by reducing roadside stops and create jobs in ticketing, security, cleaning and hospitality.
