Frequency

The trains in this line run once an hour, but in peak hour, from 7 to 9:30am and from 17:00 to 18:30 the trains run every 30 minutes, with one train added to the line. Since the Zaragoza-Goya station was opened, regional trains passengers can go to the line C1.

Statistics

Since 2012 the passenger number went up by 44%, specially because the Zaragoza-Goya station was opened and it has connections with the Zaragoza tram. That year, 343,000 people traveled one the line. The line has only 7.26% of occupancy, with the average being 23 passengers per train, being the least profitable city of the network. [5]

Line C2

In 2017 the Aragonese government proposed a second line. It will go from the highway N-IIa to the Miguel Servet street and then it will branch to Compromiso de Caspe/c/Rodrigo Rebolledo and to the San Jose Avenue/Paseo del Canal. It will also be the tram line 2, a system like in Alicante.
