Alicante extends lease for bus station in port until 2027

Alicante has decided to extend the lease for its port bus station until 2027. The current location on the port site is temporary, pending a new permanent location near the intermodal area. The ‘temporary’ location has been there since the buses were removed from the city centre in 2011, creating Séneca Square next to the old station and platforms.

Agreement

The agreement includes an annual fee of 134,000 euros to the port authority, which has been waiting for signature since 2023, when the previous agreement expired. However, since the new agreement was not ready in time, both administrations agreed to a one-year extension. In July, Alicante Mayor Luis Barcala announced that the bus station would become part of the Intermodal, to avoid other alternatives proposed in the previous term.
