  1. definitely great news, it was already necessary to increase the operational capacity with more infrastructure and not only to satisfy the demand but also to have a quality service, that it is exemplary and there are more satisfied users.

    Apart from the areas explained
    and phases of improvements and expansion, we hope that in the future the authorities will evaluate part of the bus service that they currently serve, propose another such as the cable car that connects the terminal with the city or eventually a line that connects with the metro.
