The Arrecife City Council will continue to maintain the bus service during these weeks of alert, although with restrictions and extreme security measures, to guarantee the mobility of people who have to continue going to their jobs. In addition, as the Cabildo has established for inter-island buses, the service will be free while this situation lasts.
Specifically, the connection of the neighborhoods with the center will be maintained through lines 1 and 3, which will operate at 50% as the volume of passengers has been considerably reduced after the restrictions approved this past Saturday by the Government of the Nation, when the state of alarm was decreed throughout the national territory. As for the Lanzadera service, which connects the city along its seafront, it has been taken out of service.
Lines 1 and 3 will operate, from Monday to Friday, between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. In addition, line 3 will be operational on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Cleaning and disinfection measures
During this period of alert, and while the possible spread of the coronavirus continues, the Department of Transportation of the Arrecife City Council will carry out daily disinfection work on municipal buses, garages and all stops and shelters.
Thus, the Area of Transport and Urban Mobility of Arrecife, under the direction of the popular councilor Ángela Hernández Cabrera, has contracted the services of a specialized company for the disinfection of the interior of buses, stops and shelters to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
The drivers have received the necessary instructions, and informative posters have been installed on the buses - according to the established protocols - informing of the guidelines to be followed by citizens and the distances to be maintained inside the buses. Among other things, there must be a free seat between passenger and passenger.
