Renfe set up as of Wednesday, November 13, a alternative plan transport for services to lines C1, C2 and C3 of the Noyau de Surroundings of Valencia after the suspension of train services on October 29, due to damage to infrastructure caused by DANA.
The company, to ensure road service, has scheduled 112 free buses which will carry out 1,022 daily movements with an offer of 56,000 places each day for the three lines. Buses will stop at all locations on corridors not served by commuter services. The road service budget is 11.3 million euros. This is a very important step in the recovery of mobility in the Valencia metropolitan area since 82,000 travelers use the Cercanías network daily.
Therefore, from tomorrow, Wednesday November 13, practically all services will be provided by train and bus. 52% by rail and 47% by road. Bus services will be free.
