Works at the terminus station
Since the end of March 2022, preparatory work has started for the third metro line. These sites thus provide access to the civil engineering work stage. The purpose of these works was to create a temporary bus station. The latter will subsequently be used throughout the duration of the civil engineering works, at the level of the François-Mitterrand esplanade in Colomiers.
Tisseo specifies that “the right-of-way of the current bus station will be occupied by the construction site of the terminus station of the third metro line”. Eventually, the station will be built within a multimodal hub. Travelers could find there the faulty railway station, a park and ride, a bus station, bicycle parking facilities and a boarding area. carpooling. Note that the station car park will also be closed to parking from March 2023.

On the parking side, it is advisable to give priority to free car parks downtown. Tisseo reminders:
- More than 1,000 places are available in downtown Colomiers. Four public car parks are available free of charge: Lauragais, Rouergue, Quercy and Périgord. These car parks are accessible from the station via the Tisséo bus network.
- A new reserved and secure route for pedestrians and cycles, between the station and the town center of Colomiers via the En Sigal passage and the Allée de la Piscine, allows this distance to be covered in 12 minutes on foot and four minutes by bike.
- A drop-off/pick-up area (spaces reserved for getting off and on board passengers) will be created in contact with the temporary station.
