Tranvía de Zaragoza: the challenge to enhance capacity & technological excelence
Tranvía de Zaragoza is one of the most succesful light rail stories in recent years, featuring the longest stretch without catenary in Spain and a demand of more than 100,000 passengers/day in a city of 700,000 inhabitants and with just one line.
