The tram begins to operate next week with the winter schedule. Given the increase in the number of travelers, Metrotenerife increases the frequency of the regular service. Thus, on weekdays, from Monday to Friday, the trams will run every five minutes on Line 1, and every ten minutes on Line 2. These frequencies will be maintained from 07:00 to 15:00 hours, coinciding with the periods of greater number of trips in the metropolitan area, and the capacity in the tram is limited to 50%, in accordance with the guidelines of the Government of the Canary Islands for level 3 alert for coronavirus. In the afternoon and evening hours, the trams will operate with a frequency of one every six, 12 and 15 minutes, depending on the time slot, until the end of services, which is registered at midnight.
The weekend schedules they remain as they have been until now, so the uninterrupted night service for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays will remain suspended, following the recommendations of the competent authorities.
The First Vice President and Insular Councilor for Mobility, Enrique Arriaga, reminds travelers that the use of the mask is mandatory in public transport and appeals to individual responsibility to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Users can find out about the new frequencies for winter time on the Metrotenerife website and in the application that reports in real time the percentage of occupancy of each vehicle. The operator will continue to implement daily cleaning and disinfection protocols in trams and stops, in addition to other covid-19 prevention measures, such as the renewal of the air in the wagons every three minutes and the automatic opening of its doors at all stops.
