Technical failures and insufficient installations: this is how we can see the new bus station in Dénia

"A fiasco that should have been avoided". This describes the result of the new Dénia bus station, an infrastructure that, in his opinion, presents a series of deficiencies in the facilities that affect comfort, information and, in the case of parking in the outer squares, security of the travelers.

The councilor of the dwelling in Dénia, Julio Palacios, regretted that the City Council did not want to attend to the numerous warnings in this regard, and that "Instead, they have authorized extra costs of 25.000 euros for a project that should not have been approved, which we have opposed. And they also ignore our proposal for a commission for monitoring and follow-up for public procurement ... So people we will always be paying the mistakes of our rulers ".

Failures at the bus station as we can

• About the color: "The dark color of the building does not seem the most advisable for a climatic zone like Dénia, so the thermal insulation must be very important and will surely make the maintenance of the air conditioning more expensive."
• About the box office: "The dimensions of the ticket office dedicated to the sale of tickets seem insufficient and could be improved by removing the door and placing it on the side of the container like the rest of the existing ones."
• On solar conditioning: "For the permanence of waiting travelers, the absence of shadow-pergolas can be observed that could alleviate the stay of these hottest days without forgetting the creation of rain protection covers".
• About urban furniture: "We miss a good illuminated clock located in the upper part of the central tower (...) The same can be said of the lack of street furniture such as benches, litter bins etc. Nor would a good informative panel with schedules and service companies. "
• On the space to maneuver: "Solar with insufficient surface for parking maneuvers of buses, especially those of larger size, given the difficulty of turning vehicles." They also believe that "the internal docks should end with a rounded shape that facilitates the maneuvers of the
  vehicles".
• About the bus parking: "The width of the parking areas of the 3.00 m vehicles is somewhat adjusted given the size of some buses and conditions the parking maneuver. The recommended would have been 3,50 m". They also claim that "the first two places next to the entrance are ridiculous and should not be counted within the necessary computation".
• On the parking lot outside the station: "We do not find it advisable to use the parking spaces of large vehicles outside the site in front of the office building because of the danger posed by baggage handling in the area of ​​the bus bordering the road, especially if takes into account the heavy traffic during some market days ".
• About the toilets: "They have a good design although they appear very delicate given the type of use they should provide".
• About missing services: "You miss a left-luggage service, cafeteria and some small store selling magazines, a postbox and some telephones. For some authors, buses with trailers should have a parking lot that does not require the use of reverse gear".
