Monbus station in Santiago?

[dreholden]

Hi everyone! I am struggling to figure out where the Monbus station is in Santiago (to Finisterre). Does anyone know the answer to this? Old station vs new station. Thanks!

It is all one station with train and bus together. Down the hill from the cathedral. Can you use Google maps? Should be able to see it if you put in train or bus station.

 

[Turga]

Yes, one station a couple of kms from the city center on Rúa de Clara Campoamor.

where the Monbus station is in Santiago

Monbus is just one of the bus companies that use the station, so you should be searching for the "bus station" or "estacion de autobuses".

Here is a list of all the buscompanies that operate from the Estacion de autobuses in Santiago.

Just a warning - I used Apple Maps to find the bus station in Santiago last month and it took me to the old location. This was followed by a mad run to the new station to make our bus to Finisterre

Please do not run at any bus or train station to hurriedly make a connection, especially if you are wearing your backpack. It's not worth a potential accident. I recently learned the hard way not to do that.

The busstation is at the backside of the railwaystation
in the hall are the counters of the different buscompanies like MONBUS and ALSA
Ivar made a nice YouTube video of the busstation last year or the year before

Had numerous problems with Apple Maps in Spain on my last walks. I find Google Maps much more accurate. Supposedly, Apple Maps is coming out with a major revamp in the next release. We'll see.

That is why I always rely on Google Maps. It is updated more frequently.

Besides, anyone in Santiago that you ask: "donde esta la estacion del autobuses" or donde esta la estacion de tren" will certainly point a finger in the general direction of both.

They are attached to one another, at the bottom of Rua do Horreo, and about 10 minutes, downhill from Plaza de Galicia. Can't miss it.

Just sayin.

Hope this helps.

Yes. Had same experience last week. Typed Estacion de autobuses into Google maps, ended up at old one, and luckily was able to hail a cab. Use “Estacion de tren” to get to the right place.

Went there yesterday to buy tickets to Fisterra for tomorrow and was happy to see the train station right next to it as I have to catch train to Madrid Saturday. Now I know where both are.

I had the same question as there was no address on the Monbus ticket I bought. Just took a taxi Nice driver showed you walk to far left for entry, up escalators x2, then into station or down to platforms.

Same thing happened to me. The receptionist at my hotel directed me to the old one. Missed my bus to Finisterre. Also the money for the hotel room that was reserved there. Not a good day.

I just did this on Google Maps and it picked the correct, new, bus station. I am not sure what is wrong with your G Maps??

Just to add, a couple of weeks ago the airport bus was full when it left the bus station and didn’t stop until the outskirts of SdeC, if you are going to the airport it might be a good idea to walk to the bus station.

I had a taxi bring me to the bus station- it looked pretty new to me..

 

[Karen Schoenfelder]

Thanks for all the bus station information. It will be very helpful for me in September.
I do have a question about the Monbus to Finisterra. It looks like there are two buses that depart at 9 AM, one gets in five minutes earlier than the other. I wanna know if that is correct and does it matter which bus I take? Is there a difference between them? I can’t seem to find a difference other than the time of arrival.

I was hoping to purchase a Monbus ticket in Santiago for my trip from Muxia back to Santiago ( after walking to Muxia), as we need to be on the bus to make our connection to Madrid, and I’ve heard it sometimes is full. Will that be possible or do I need to buy online?

I just caught the bus from Muxia to Santiago last month. At 6:30 am there were a lot of pilgrims. The bus driver took on the people who already had tickets first. I bought mine online a few days before. Best to have PayPal setup.
