In the last five years alone, demand at the Nord bus station in Barcelona has grown by 50%. And the data indicates that the trend will continue to rise: the City Council estimates that demand will increase by another 30% from now until 2030. This was explained by the deputy mayor and councilor for Urban Planning and Mobility, Laia Bonet, during the presentation of the renovation of this historic station in the Catalan capital, which hosts buses for international routes, between Catalonia and the rest of Spain, as well as intercity and private services.
