As from this Monday, 31 August, all the network’s trains will be in service during the morning rush hour, two weeks earlier compared to last year, to make mobility easier during this current health crisis.

In addition, the service will be expanded with an extra five trains all together on the L1 and L5 lines compared to the previous school year, bringing a total of 159 trains during rush hours.

To enable safer travel on the metro hydro-alcoholic gel dispensers have been put up and extra online information provided so users can know how crowded each line is in real time.

It is mandatory for metro users to wear a mask and frequently wash their hands and to avoid rush hours as far as possible.
