What should I do if my bus arrives or departs in the middle of the night?

The station closes at 01:30 AM, so you cannot wait inside after that time. If your bus leaves very early (e.g., 05:00 AM), the outside area has surveillance and there is a 24-hour taxi rank right at the main entrance for safe late-night transfers.

How is the station laid out so I don’t get lost?

The terminal is organized into two levels: the upper lobby is for ticket sales and the shopping area, while the lower lobby focuses on dining services and access to the bus platforms.

Where can I charge my phone if there are no free sockets in the waiting area?

In addition to the charging towers in the waiting area, if you travel on an Alsa Supra or Confort class bus, you will have USB connectors or individual sockets at your own seat throughout the journey.

Can I bring a bicycle or an electric scooter?

Yes, both are allowed in the bus trunk. For electric scooters, in 2026 it is mandatory to have a circulation certificate and an identification label. Like bicycles, they must be folded or packed and the corresponding supplement must be paid when buying the ticket.

How can I bring my bicycle or surfboard?

Alsa allows the transport of sports equipment for a supplement (approx. €5-€10 depending on the route). You must check it in as special luggage, it must be packed (in a specific bag or box), and you must be at the platform 15 minutes before departure to place it in the trunk.

What should I do if I lose an item on board or at the station?

If you lost it at the station, go to the Information Point. If the item was left on the bus, you must contact the transport company directly. Unclaimed items after 4 weeks are sent to the municipal Lost and Found Office.

How can I request assistance if I am traveling with reduced mobility?

You must request the assistance service (PRM) at least 48 hours in advance through the website or phone of the company you are traveling with. The station has elevators and ramps connecting both levels to facilitate your access to the platforms.

How do I know which platform my bus leaves from?

You should check the digital screens located on both levels of the terminal. Platforms are usually divided by companies or destinations: the lower lobby gives direct access to the bay area, where each door indicates the platform number.
