Barcelona City Council has begun contracting projects to upgrade 12 interurban bus stops along the Diagonal, Meridiana and Gran Via corridors, investing €6.8 million, as Diaricatalunya reported ([source](https://diaricatalunya.cat/barcelones/barcelona/barcelona-millora-12-parades-de-bus-interurba-amb-68-milions-deuros?ref=barna.news)). The improvements aim to enhance user information, comfort, accessibility and operational capacity for services that run between 6,000 and 7,000 daily trips.

Currently, 90% of this activity occurs in public spaces lacking adequate infrastructure. The selected locations include Zona Universitària, Palau Reial, Pius XII, Maria Cristina, plaça Espanya, ronda Universitat, plaça Tetuan, ronda Sant Pere, Fabra i Puig, Sagrera-Garcilaso, Sagrera-Felip II and Clot.

## Design and Accessibility Upgrades

The redesigns will address current deficiencies such as insufficient waiting areas, seating, weather protection, accessible spaces and real-time information systems. Designs will apply gender and safety perspectives, improving visibility, lighting and pedestrian routes.

Features will include updated information displays, timetable and waiting-time signage, intermodal integration, sun protection, expanded waiting zones, renewed urban furniture including accessible seating, and a study on installing public toilets.

## Project Timeline

The €6.8 million will fund project development in 2027, with construction starting from 2028\. Universal accessibility will be guaranteed by removing architectural barriers and introducing accessible signage. Operational efficiency will also improve through optimised stop layouts and boarding zones.

Commuters should expect updates from Ajuntament de Barcelona on specific construction schedules and temporary stop adjustments as the project progresses.
