The Retiro Bus Terminal was inaugurated on May 1, 1983, and originally brought together 58 passenger transport companies.
It was thought of as a solution to the traffic problems that the city suffered as a result of the lack of a single terminal from which all the long-distance service companies departed. During the development of the project, the opposition of the bus companies was heard in the media, who criticized the obligation to move to the new terminal, and the increase in costs that operating there would entail.
However, with the closure of most of the Argentine railway system between 1991 and 1993, the number of companies increased considerably and the terminal suffered more and more from the inadequacy of its facilities for such demand. For this reason it was remodeled in 1995, building a new curved, covered and ramped access road from Avenida Ramos Mejía.
The Terminal is a building with a marked horizontality, with a linear extension of almost 400 meters, but it has three levels and is made up of five lateral access nuclei (from pedestrian stairs and from a ramp for taxi access). The ground floor is intended for parcel companies, it also houses a parking lot, administrative offices and urban service companies. The second level is that of the platforms, which are accessed from the vertebral volume of the terminal, in which there are five nuclei made up of small gastronomic establishments, newspaper sales stalls, various shops and toilets. The third and last level houses the ticket sales offices and a branch of Banco Ciudad
