Transport

The 8th district of Bilbao has a very important role as a transportation hub, the main road access to the city from the A-8 motorway crosses the heart of the district (Av. Sabino Arana). This causes heavy disruption to the residents of the district, a new road access is projected through the less populated areas of Basurto. All railway companies operating in Bilbao except Euskotren Trena have stations in the 8th district: On top of that, the main bus station of the city (Termibus) is located in Basurto.
