Enhanced Safety Measures Implemented on Alicante's TRAM System
Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) has announced a significant security upgrade for both the Alicante and Valencia TRAM networks, aiming to improve the daily travel experience for thousands of commuters and ensure a safer and more reliable journey.
The new security contract, which initially runs for two years with an option to extend for an additional year, will cover various aspects of the TRAM complexes, common services, tram lines, and trains. The initiative highlights FGV's commitment to protecting passengers and employees, addressing issues such as fare evasion and vandalism.
Private security companies will be hired to carry out the work, coordinating closely with local law enforcement to maintain a secure environment. The city's public transport system will remain efficient, with the upgrade not affecting the current operation of the TRAM system in Alicante.
The €41 million investment focuses on ensuring safe stations, trams, and trains, and is in response to the increased passenger numbers on TRAM d'Alacant. The goal is to protect passengers and staff while preventing unauthorized access.
The current security contract expires on December 31, 2025. The upgrade aims to maintain a safer and more reliable journey, with the city's transport system remaining secure and efficient. The new contract will cover both Alicante and Valencia networks, providing enhanced security for all commuters.
FGV recently put out a contract to strengthen security on the Alicante TRAM system, involving both private security firms and police forces. However, specific company names have not been disclosed in the available information.
The upgrade is a positive step towards ensuring the safety and security of the city's public transport system, and is expected to have a significant impact on the daily lives of Alicante commuters.
