Pirituba Bus Station

Pirituba Bus Station

1/8

This terminal is located north of the city of São Paulo, near the Jaraguá peak and next to the Pirituba Metropolitan Train Station (CPTM). The land where it is implanted also houses the headquarters of the Regional Administration and is bounded by Av. Dr. Felipe Pinel, marginal to the railway line, and Av. Raimundo Pereira de Magalhães – which crosses the same line in a viaduct. The other limits are local streets.
The site is a large cut in the terrain, with slopes – already existent – that make the level transition both with the longitudinal limit streets and with the eastern end, an access way to the viaduct.
Two accesses for users were planned: one from the lower part, next to Av. Dr. Felipe Pinel, which connects to the station and one from the upper part, next to Av. Raimundo Pereira de Magalhães. The first is a small construction that only marks the entrance and houses the necessary program; the second concentrates the administrative activities in two floors, overcoming the unevenness – by staircases or elevators – between the avenue and the platforms.
Vehicle access is made through the lower part, next to the railway line, in order to reduce the interference in the local traffic. Three bus stop platforms were configured, in two islands of different widths with independent but interconnected covers at the pedestrian crossing points – next to the accesses. Under the wider covering, the blocks where the services are concentrated were arranged.
The entire platform roof is made of folded sheet metal profiles, with metallic supports: on the wider island, they are pyramidal arms that are joined to a concrete pillar, and on the narrower island, they are circular section pillars that look for the crossbeams that cross and catch the water on both sides of the roof.
Next to the administrative block, other buildings house the electrical input and command installations, the waste deposit, the gas shelter, and the elevated water reservoir, all in exposed concrete. (In the case of the water tank, a metal grid enclosure and an external vertical access were created). ) The other buildings are clad in ceramic tessellation.
