Close

The Euskotren Trena commuter railway network has a station with the same name at a distance of about 350 metres (380 yd), but the two stations are not connected.

It was opened on 28 February 2011, being the first metro station in the municipality of Basauri, the other one being Basauri station, which was opened on 11 November that same year.^[3] During the first day, more than 8,000 passengers used the new station.^[4]

Until the opening of Basauri station, both lines 1 and 2 reached Ariz; starting on November 11 only line 2 uses it. Line 1 now terminates at Etxebarri.^{[citation needed]}

Ariz station follows the typical cavern-shaped layout of most underground Metro Bilbao stations, with the main hall located directly above the rail tracks.

The station is served by line 2 from Kabiezes to Basauri with headways from five to ten minutes.^{[citation needed]} Bus stops near the station are served by Bizkaibus regional services.
