Since the post-war years, in the 1940s, Pontevedra had been asking for a bus station to centralise the transport of passengers by coach, in accordance with its status as a provincial capital.

[1] In the absence of a bus station, buses arriving in Pontevedra stopped in several central streets such as Gutiérrez Mellado (formerly General Mola), Pastor Díaz, Benito Corbal, Sagasta, Cobián Roffignac, García Camba and the San José Square.

[3] On 13 January 2020, the Xunta de Galicia began the major renovation of the bus station, with a budget of 6 million euros.

The upper floor is accessible from the Estación Avenue square, via a wide ramp suitable for disabled people along the central part of the façade[11] and stairs on the sides.

The ground floor provides access to the 18 boarding platforms, which are arranged in a diagonal parking pattern, and has an outdoor waiting area.

[15] To the west of the square, there is a parking area and a kiss and ride lane for users arriving at the station by car or motorbike.
