Terrassa's New Bus Network Design Merges Lines and Increases Frequencies

The restructuring aims for a faster North-South connection and reduced traffic through narrow central streets, pending the new service concession.

The Terrassa City Council has designed a new urban bus network to enhance efficiency and frequencies, a plan whose implementation depends on resolving the upcoming service concession tender.

The Terrassa City Council Mobility services presented the new planning to the Mobility Board this Tuesday evening. One of the main novelties is the merger of lines L7 (Can Jofresa-Pla del Bon Aire) and L10 (Les Fonts-Estació del Nord). This union will allow a direct connection between the north and south of the city, creating a more competitive line and reducing travel time from Les Fonts to the center from 36 to 20 minutes.
“

"This has also been worked on with the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Terrassa and a majority part understands it. The important thing is that here we are basing ourselves on demand and cost studies, and ultimately, it is an objective and realistic proposal for the transport needs of our city."

Xavier Cardona · Deputy Mayor for Mobility
The new scheme also foresees the restructuring of links between Can Parellada and Les Fonts. Line L15 (Les Fonts-Montserrat) will be integrated into line L4 (Ca n’Aurell-Can Parellada), consolidating the latter as the main neighborhood connection and increasing its frequency on weekends. This modification will also connect the Can Parellada towers with the Center and provide a direct link between the Polígon Industrial Sud and the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat station at Les Fonts.
Another key objective is to relieve congestion in the narrow central streets, such as Sant Antoni, Mas Adei, Garcia Humet, and Topete. To achieve this, the route of line L6 (La Cogullada-Can Roca) will be simplified, linking the Estació del Nord directly with the Plaça de la Dona via the Avinguda 22 de Juliol. This will reduce the frequency of buses in these streets from one every 4-5 minutes to one every 7-8 minutes.
In the northern area, line L5 (Can Trias-Pla del Bon Aire) will be extended along Avinguda Béjar to the Sant Llorenç neighborhood, covering the Polígon Industrial Nord. Finally, line LH (Poble Nou-Hospital) will be renamed L11, becoming a diametrical line connecting the Hospital with other reference points, including the Estació del Nord. The implementation of these changes depends on the new concession, currently extended by Tmesa, a process that could take at least two years.
