The project plans to concentrate all the station's services on one floor and establish Calle Nàpols as the only access, changes that "will allow for improved passenger flow inside the station, facilitate their stay and reinforce intermodality, with a better connection" with the Arc de Triomf Metro and Rodalies station.
The works, which are scheduled to begin at the end of the year and end in 2026, have a budget of 10 million euros, 4.8 of which come from the European Next Generation funds within the Destination Tourism Sustainability Plan.
The deputy mayor for urban planning and president of BSM, Laia Bonet, has highlighted that, with more than 2.6 million passengers a year and nearly 150,000 trips, the station "is already the main centre for departures and arrivals of coaches in the city to national and international destinations".
The ground floor will be worked on to make it larger, with new interior passages and waiting areas and a catering offer that "will be complemented by a gastronomic proposal located on the façade that will allow the station to open up to the city", and with new lighting, vegetation, information systems, elements to improve sound and a photovoltaic installation on the roof.
The council has assured that the interventions will be carried out respecting "the uniqueness of the building", which is listed as a cultural asset of local interest.
