That is why, the town hall decided some months ago to organize a competition in which the participants would be asked to design the new bus station from Vitoria. The town hall chose the three best projects and decided which one was the most appropriate and which fitted more with the city. These chosen projects had been designed by Trakteplan, GLM Unigest and Mozas&Aguirre architect companies. The chosen project, was the one designed by Trakteplan firm and it has been described in the introduction. However, the other two projects were quite interesting too. GLM Unigest's project This project, is based on a semi-underground structure. Thanks to this semi-underground structure, the bus station would not have so much impact on Arriaga park. The project also consists on a semi-underground terminal with an organic design of the facade which tries to be integrated on the park. Due to the semi-underground structure, the docks would have natural light and would be properly ventilated. Furthermore, the station would have three travelators (mechanic stairs) and two lifts. This project consists on 21 docks and thanks to its easy access, 3400 passengers would arrive and leave per hour. GLM Unigest, proposed two different options for the cover of the docks. One of the proposals was to build a small car park with 73 parking spaces. This car park could just be used 15 minutes and just by the people which were using the bus station or going to pick someone up from the station. The other option, was
