Eduardo Salgado, manager of the terminal, said that after a note received, which gave notice of the existence of an alleged explosive device, the total evacuation of the facilities was ordered.

Passengers and employees of transport cooperatives and several businesses were evacuated. Neither the enter of urban, cantonal and interprovincial buses to the facilities was allowed until the explosives experts and the Rescue Intervention Group (GIR) of the Police made a thorough review of the building.
