As a resident of Seville, a few comments. <br /><br />Using the Consorcio card, each transfer has an additional discount of 20% of the total trip cost. For example, if you take a city bus and then the metro, the trip cost would not be 0.76 + 0.82 = 1.58, but 0.76 + 0.82 - ((0.82 + 0.76) * 0.2) = 1.26. If then you take a metropolitan bus, the total cost of the trip would be 1.26 + 0.97 - ((1.26 + 0.97) * 0.2) = 1.78 instead of 2.55. So as more transfers, more discount.<br /><br />The system of zones and jumps is taken from the metropolitan buses, so it is not uncommon for residents in Seville. Since the ticket is not validated when exiting the bus as it is needed in the metro, the Consorcio card is pre-configured with a default number of jumps at the moment of purchasing the card. If for a trip that number is different that the real number of jumps, you must indicated it to the bus driver.<br /><br />The most used suburban lines are the C-1 (85% of voyagers) and the C-5 (8% of voyagers), San Bernardo is the busiest station. Anyway, they are not very used for traveling inside Seville neither the nearest cities of the metropolitan area.<br /><br />The works on the Alcalá tramway have been resumed and may be completed next year. It may work as a new metro line, using the same trains and not needing to make transfers. In other words, there would be a Line 1-A from Ciudad Expo to Montecarmelo, and another line 1-B from Ciudad Expo to Montequinto, but it's not confirmed for the moment.<br /><br />Right now the Line 3 project is being updated, which will be the next line to be built, it is possible that the works will begin in 2021 or 2022. <br /><br />Also, some feeder bus lines have been created in recent years in the Aljarafe area, to connect directly with the metro.<br />ALVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149212181542746524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810004648766820675.post-89158059735459973892015-06-25T07:45:49.740+01:002015-06-25T07:45:49.740+01:00Sure, shame on me, I should have remembered that o...Sure, shame on me, I should have remembered that one!Robert Schwandlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156288779783738076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810004648766820675.post-30531764898486643672015-06-24T10:55:23.692+01:002015-06-24T10:55:23.692+01:00Just a comment to Seviila's special low-floor ...Just a comment to Seviila's special low-floor metro system: Not only Budapest, also Vienna has a special line U6 as a low-floor underground line segregated from all other traffic, but this line is operated with more standard train length with four articulated cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
