The Government plans to invest 1.6 million euros in the bus stations of Tarragona and Reus within a broader plan that will mobilize 10 million in 2026 to improve and rehabilitate 25 facilities of Catalonia's interurban transport network.
The action in Camp de Tarragona involves tendering this very year the works in both stations. The works will focus on improvement and maintenance tasks of different elements of the facilities, with the plan to act on the pavement, the signage, the accesses, the urban furniture and the information systems.
A plan for 25 stations throughout Catalonia
The announced investment is part of the strategy of the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition to strengthen public transport and advance towards a more efficient and sustainable model. The initiative affects the network of interurban transport stations in Catalonia and seeks to update facilities that concentrate a relevant part of daily mobility.
The program includes 25 bus stations and already has a dozen works underway in different parts of the territory. To that block will be added another dozen actions that the Government plans to start during the spring.
Foreseen improvements in Tarragona and Reus
In the case of Tarragona and Reus, the planned interventions focus on basic elements for the daily operation of the stations and the user experience. The works will affect accesses, signage, pavement, urban furniture and information systems, with the aim of updating the facilities and improving their use.
The minister Sílvia Paneque has defended the scope of this strategy and has highlighted the Executive's priority in this area.
"Mobility is one of the priority axes of the Government to facilitate the movement of citizens" - Sílvia Paneque, minister
The tender for the works in Tarragona and Reus is planned for this year, so that both stations are included in a roadmap that the Government presents as key to modernizing the Catalan interurban network and strengthening the role of the bus in daily mobility.
