Chascomús railway and bus station, Railway and bus station in Chascomús, Argentina
Chascomús railway and bus station is a modern terminal building serving both train and bus travelers in Buenos Aires Province. The facility combines rail and bus operations under one roof, offering connections throughout the region and to the capital.
A railway station first opened here in 1865, establishing transport connections from Buenos Aires to coastal regions. The present building, completed in 2015, replaced the original structure with contemporary infrastructure.
The station's name recalls Raúl Alfonsín, the Chascomús-born president under whom construction began in 1983; the project stalled and the building stood unfinished for decades. Its opening on 19 December 2014 finally closed the old 1865 station, which now houses a museum. The double track from Temperley ends here, continuing single-track toward Mar del Plata.
The station sits in central Chascomús, making it easy to reach the city's lakes and older neighborhoods on foot after arrival. Regular train and bus services operate from here to nearby towns and Buenos Aires.
The terminal sits steps away from Chascomús' network of lakes, which have shaped the town's character for generations. Few visitors realize how close these waterways are to the arrival point, making exploration immediate upon stepping outside.
