On Monday January 5, the day of the Three Kings Parade, public transport provided by Tussam will be completely free. This has been announced by the mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz. A measure that aims to facilitate mobility and access of all citizens to the route of the procession.
Specifically, from 15:00 Tussam buses will be free, reinforcing the commitment of the consistory for public transport. Except, of course, the Special Airport line.
The mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz stressed that “as we did last year, Tussam again take you free to the Three Kings Parade. The service will be completely free on January 5 from 15:00h to encourage the use of public transport and streamline the possible crowds”.
Therefore, and during the time slot indicated, it will not be necessary to validate the tickets, nor the season ticket or other methods of payment.
Reinforcement in Tussam lines during the day of the parade
On the other hand, a special service has been planned with an increase of up to 190 reinforcement vehicles, mainly in midday and afternoon hours, which in certain lines means an increase of more than 150% compared to a normal Sunday.
Namely: 80 additional vehicles during the morning and intensified in the afternoon.
These reinforcements will be preferentially destined to radial lines. Thus, the lines with the highest demand, such as lines 12, 13, 27 and 32, will have between 17 and 22 buses with a frequency of approximately five minutes in the afternoon.
The rest of the radial lines and the transversal lines 2, 3 and 5 will be reinforced to maintain frequencies of around 7 minutes.
Metrocentro will provide service with 5 units and a frequency of 7 minutes.
On the other hand, most of the lines will suffer cuts and detours, depending on the time of passage of the procession through the different streets of its route, which will be managed in real time with the least possible impact on users.
