Metro has gained more than 2,600 passengers in its daily average, making a total of 45,718 users per day, a better figure comparing to the same one last year: 43,059 users per day.

Even so, it should be taken into consideration that the year-on-year comparison of the first trimester of 2016 is affected by the great demand growth during the Easter special service.

On the other hand, 838,395 passengers have trusted Metro de Sevilla to get to the April Fair thanks to the special service organized from Saturday April 9th to Sunday April 17th.
