muy bien el tranvía con wifi

[alserrod]

Tramway has no wifi. Only two bus lines... and up today no forumer has checked how it goes (or at least, written about it)

[alserrod]

Tramway arrives to the last stop without catenary. Last night at 22:00 it run the first test travel in that area.

In the picture, one of the narrowest areas for the tramway. It is the Central Market and before the tramway we had a 1,5+1 lane street (1,5 because they were so narrow that one bus occupied both lanes)

Because bugdet savings, next July 2nd, two bus lines of Zaragoza will dissapear.

They are the number 27 and 48

Line 27 runs only with one bus going from a sport area in the surrounds to the centre. This year they will not have swimming pool there and until two stops before you can choose another line.
One bus that makes a 1 hour frequency (30 minutes to centre, 30 minutes to sport area)

Line 48 was created in 2008 for the international exhibition and later, enlarged a little. Today only runs Wednesday and Sunday morning when there is a street market in the terminal. After some changes because tramway works and street cut off, I have seen it absolutely empty on a Wednesday...

There are more measures for transport saving but today's time to cut off the less used lines.

I've took pictures of both of them.

Bus route 48. Created as EX8 for Expo 2008. It should have dissapeared when the Expo ended, but it continued to October. Now it operated only Wednesdays and Sundays. This photo is from last October:


Bus route 27. I managed to take a picture of this one, it only departs once every hour. Even the buses to Huesca depart more often!:


And here is bus route 35 in Plaza Paraíso, my favourite bus route. In this picture the works of reconstruction of the square due to the tram can be seen:


And just behind that picture:


Incidentally, just after I took the last picture I hopped inside that tram and I went to Romareda stop.

Asphalt in right lane is totally new. That lane has been closed for one year exactly.

Left lane is closed to traffic because asphalt (it remained open).

After July 16th some of bus lanes will take old official trajects and will drive there.


In october 2012 it will be open this strech for tramway. Two stops more (Plaza Aragon and Plaza de España) arriving just a little downer than webcam image.

As you can see, it is wireless... no catenary on top!!!

It remains to open part of an avenue and asphalt is not completed

Great photos. The old train station is really beautiful.

The Spanish sense of aesthetic really is one of the best in the world.
