Santa Fe Bus Terminal Launches Overhaul After 20-Year Deal Extension

A 20-year extension gives the city room to plan larger upgrades that attract private investment.

Overview

  • The municipality set a new phase to modernize the terminal after extending its operating agreement with the province for two decades.
  • The first project targets the public bathrooms with a 120-day, staged remodel that starts in the north wing and adds hot-water showers for users.
  • The city awarded the bathroom work to Dragados for about 275.6 million pesos to keep services running while construction shifts to the south wing outside the busy winter travel period.
  • Plans call for real-time arrival and departure screens, smart signage, and automated bus entry and exit to speed traffic inside the station.
  • Recent fixes include roof waterproofing, automated parking, a repaved internal street, and a refreshed ticket hall, while shops now operate at full occupancy across 36 storefronts serving roughly 20,000 daily passengers.
