Moyua (Bilbao Metro)

Moyua station follows the typical cavern-shaped layout of most underground Metro Bilbao stations designed by Norman Foster, with the main hall located directly above the rail tracks. Access • 3 Moyua Plaza (Elcano exit) • 1 Moyua Plaza (Ercilla-Guggenheim exit) • 8 Diputación street (Diputación exit, closed during night time services) • 37 Gran Vía (Ercilla-Guggenheim exit) ==Services==

The station is served by Line 1 from Etxebarri to Ibarbengoa and Plentzia, and by Line 2 from Basauri to Kabiezes. The station is also served by local Bilbobus and regional Bizkaibus bus services. Future In 2008, the Basque Government made public the project for line 4 of the metro, which was to connect Moyua with the southern district of Errekalde, with the construction works expected to begin within the following two years. In 2009 the Basque Government announced the possibility of connecting the then under construction Line 3 with the future Line 4 at Matiko, thus extending the line 4 from Errekalde to Matiko via Moyua and two additional stations, one by the Doña Casilda Iturrizar park and another one by the campus of the University of Deusto. This project would have involved constructing a second station hall at Moyua for the new platforms and tracks. The line, however, stayed as a mere project, and in 2017 the Basque Government announced that any type of construction work could not begin before 2020 due to the lack of resources, a problem that also affected the line 5 project to Galdakao. ==References==
