The vice president of the Cabildo de Tenerife and president of Metrotenerife, Enrique Arriaga, points out in a note that in the last two years the number of passengers on the tram has been recovering, “which shows that it is a safe means of mobility for the population and that the established prevention measures have taken hold, based on the guidelines of the Government of the Canary Islands at all times”.
