Marmariga funicular Access to the neighborhood of Mamariga from the station wasn't included in the original planning for Line 2. Construction on a funicular connecting the station to Mamariga started in late 2007. The funicular opened in September 2010, more than a year after the station itself. In June 2015, the funicular's Mamariga terminus was severely damaged by a fire, forcing it to close for repairs. The funicular reopened in December that year after repairs were carried out.
The funicular's terminus in Mamariga is considered one of the station's entrances, not a distinct station in and of itself. Since 2013, no fare has been charged for using the funicular. The operating hours of the funicular are the same as those of the metro. On the funicular, trains depart approximately every 3 minutes. In its length, the funicular ascends . The line is double-tracked, with each track being operated independently of the other.
Services The station is served by Line 2 from Kabiezes to Basauri with headways from five to ten minutes. Bus stops near the station are served by Bizkaibus regional services.
