Extensions of the Tram Timetable is requested
No one will doubt that the new tram route that will take us from Playa San Juan to Alicante in minutes is a plus for all users and will provide a great means of rapid transportation and ease traffic in both cities.
However, there is a concern that seems logical by local shop oweners who think that this same ease of locomotion may hurt their business in the sense that many people will decide to go to make their purchases in Alicante. That is why Fontplaya President, of the Association of the Fontana commercial center and Playa San Juan, is bringing together small owners and they have made contact with Antonio Carbonell TRAM manager to ask him to extend the train schedule until two o’clock in the morning instead of ending at eleven o’clock at night. This extended schedule would helop small businesses and be able to attract more customers. Julian Gaius Fontplaya president stressed the readiness of the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport to this request. but it will all be subject of a study and they will have to get back to them..
We hope everything is solved because the last thing we want is to see our trade financially hurt so we truly hope everything will be resolved in a positive way.
