Linares Champions Train Travel as Key to Tenerife’s Mobility Challenges

Francisco Linares, the regional deputy and insular general secretary of CC in Tenerife, identifies mobility as a significant issue for the island. As a user of the Northern Highway, he acknowledges that “conditions are gradually improving; the congestion is not entirely resolved, but it has eased,” a change he attributes to “the commendable policies implemented by the Cabildo in promoting public transport, diversifying schedules, prohibiting heavy vehicles during peak hours, enhancing certain connections, and increasing public awareness about carpooling.” He believes that “Tenerife is making good progress towards a definitive solution.” In this context, he stated, “the future construction of the South and North Train will contribute to that ultimate resolution. I fully support this guided transport system that utilises clean, sustainable energy with minimal environmental impact.”
