The construction of a new XXL bus station at Rahlstedt in Hamburg, managed by HOCHBAHN, has transitioned from the pre-opening phase to official operation. Originally scheduled for a summer opening, the project faced delays due to weather-related issues during a snowy winter.

Following a two-year construction period involving a nine-million-euro investment, the barrier-free terminal officially opened on October 5, 2026. The facility is designed to serve 16 bus lines and approximately 15,000 passengers daily, featuring green roof structures, photovoltaic modules, and accessibility elements such as tactile guidance. While the station is operational, certain components remain in progress; digital departure displays are not yet fully functional, and an elevator connecting the bus island to the pedestrian tunnel is not expected to be commissioned until early 2027.
