Metrovalencia will provide a 24 hour service from 15th to 20th March for Fallas and certain stations will be CLOSED 2 hours before the Mascletà in Plaza Del Ayuntamiento and for the evening displays at Alameda...
The operation will run from the night of Friday 15th March until the early morning on the 20th March after La Cremà.
The novelty of this year will be the increase in service the two previous weekends with the new night meter.
The Local Board meets at the Town Hall to outline aspects related to party safety.
The València metro, like the Municipal Transport Company (EMT), will offer uninterrupted service during the big days of Fallas, specifically from the night of Friday 15th March until the early morning of the 20th.
The operation, similar to that of previous years, will contemplate the circulation during all those days with working hours, which offer better frequencies of transport.
This year, when the night service for the first time on weekends and on the eve of a public holiday works, there will be more services, since in previous years there were only extensions until 1.00 or 2.00am in the morning. With the new night meter, trains will run until 2.30-3.00am on the weekends before the final week of Fallas.
The activation of the metro 24 hours from March 15th to 20th has been one of the issues addressed in the Local Board of Citizen Security held this Wednesday in the City of Valencia.
In the meeting the decision of the Cuba-Literato Azorín fault was also communicated of no lighting the lights in Ruzafa, which will oblige the Consistory to modify the fallero side to change the security measures in view of the large influx planned for the Ruzafa neighborhood. Among them, the closing of the pedestrian underpass in the Germanías area.
Also, neither the tunnel nor the Bailén metro station will be closed this year.
On the other hand, those of Xátiva and Colón will be closed for the mascletà from March 16th to 19th March and that of Alameda two hours before the evening displays on the 16th, 17th and 18th.
"Things are going to come out very well, I want to convey to all the Valencians and the people who are coming that they will be safe Fallas, like every year," said Ribó.
The delegate of the Government, Juan Carlos Fulgencio, has said that the "maximum coordination" will be given between "all the security forces" to guarantee "safe parties".
Finally, as a reminder, don’t forget that EMT bus service will be issuing an UNLIMITED travel card for the dates of 15th to 19th March for 10€ and this will be available from 8th March.
