Roll-out/Benefits for thecommunity
The three new stations have been in
operation since last summer, initiating a
new era of public transport and mobility
in Terrassa. In just eight minutes, it is now
possible to cross the city from north to
south from the Terrassa-Rambla to the
Terrassa-Naciones Unides Station.
In addition, the new stations have become
a centre of attraction for commuters,
facilitating travel to the University Campus
and the services that Mútua Terrassa will
be offering in the same building as the
Vallparadís Universitat Station.
Up to now, its use has increased 50% and it
is expected that the number of commuters
in Terrassa will increase to 5.5 million each
year and there will be 3 million new users for
the Vallès Metro.
