The Zaragoza candidacy has beaten the other finalists, which is an unprecedented fact in the countries affected by the virus, especially considering that during the confinement Zaragoza Tram maintained its full capacity, operating with double units during moments of high occupancy despite the drastic drop in demand to up to 95%.
Likewise, the candidacy is supported by all the initiatives that have been carried out in Line 1 of Zaragoza Tram: reinforcements of disinfection of the units; the installation of gel dispensers in all units; the placement of mask vending machines at certain stops with affordable prices; the design of the marking of disabled seats and the capacity of the vehicle; the measures installed in garages for the safety of work teams; the intense marketing and communication campaign, etc.
Mentions
In addition, the Zaragoza Tram has received two “Highly commended” mentions. The first one has been in the category “Significant Safety Initiative” and the second one in the category “Technical Innovation of the Year”.
