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:
- Metro Bilbao has a station in the district (San Mamés).
- Bilbao tram has the Basurto, Hospital and San Mamés stations in the district.
- The Cercanías Bilbao commuter railway network has three stops in the district: San Mamés, Olabeaga, and Zorrotza.
- The FEVE commuter line to Balmaseda has two stations in the district, Basurto and Zorrotza. On top of that, the main bus station of the city (Termibus) is located in Basurto.
