On 2 April, the second anniversary of the Metro Line 1 which runs along 18 km and 21 stations from Mairena del Aljarafe , San Juan de Aznalfarache, Sevilla (Los Remedios, Puerta de Jerez, Prado, San Bernardo, Nervión, Rochelambert and La Plata) and Montequinto. During this period, has carried 26.47 million passengers who make an average of 13.2 million users until April 1, 2011.
Underground Sevilla ended 2009 (April-December) with 7.7 million users in the calendar year 2010 (January to December) there were a total of 14.64 million passengers. In the first quarter of 2011, there have been transported 4.09 million users, equivalent to a growth of 10% over the same period last year, when four days which coincided with Easter.
However, most substantial balance of Metro passengers, managed by the company led by Dragados and Sacyr, is that the numbers will grow slightly more since the 21 stations are operational. The data are practically bound in the 14 million travelers and will move in similar numbers each year until the three lines are built needed to complete the planned Metro network. The most populous neighborhoods of Seville, and Seville East, Torreblanca, Macarena, Polígono San Pablo, Pino Montano, Bellavista, Alcos Park, Los Bermejales and so on, are still waiting for Metro construction of lines 2, 3 and 4. When that happens, it is expected that 14 million passengers a year on line 1 to rise to 18 million at least, the magic number calculated at the time the dealership to balance the costs of running the service.
In 2009 the difference was substantial passenger later years because he had not opened the station Puerta de Jerez (which moves more users) or those of Montequinto, which opened in September and November of that year. Since then, the most important milestones of the Metro are the records of users who always gets into Holy Week and Fair, when it doubles the number of commuters riding because more than one million people within two weeks of both parties spring. In Fair had 581,321 users during the entire week of 2010, when Metro carries more passengers. At Easter of that year was 547,849.

Speaking of seasons, Puerta de Jerez is more established as the busiest stop with a total of 2.61 million users. It is situated on the Paseo de Cristina, at the entrance to the old capital. The second most used Nervión season, with 2.24 million users. The third, the Plaza de Cuba, with 2.15 million passengers and the fourth, San Bernardo, with 2.14 million. All these stations are located in the central section of the route for Seville, where we find the mall and tour of the Andalusian capital, the University of Seville and exchange with other transport systems (suburban and Tram Metrocentro).
The changing demands of the Seville metro can differentiate into two periods. An initial phase, covering the first eight months of operation in 2009, when he was completing the service with the gradual opening of the Puerta de Jerez stations and the last three stops Montequinto (Two Sisters) in September and late November 2009, respectively. The second phase covers the full year 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, as demand has increased as a result of the operation of all operating stations. In fact, in this second phase has increased by 31% the average monthly passenger in relation to that registered in 2009.
Construction of the remaining three lines are no definite date. The construction projects are currently being drafted and will be completed to close this year with details of the allegations missing citizens, which resolved a few days ago. The next step is to submit, along with exploration projects, the environmental process and finally, write the specifications to invite tenders for the works.
Line 3 (Pino Montano Bermejales extension to Bellavista) is a priority because the more people will attend, too to the Minister of Public Works Josefina Cruz Villalon.
The start date of the first works of new lines is directly linked to the time they have money. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe Andalusian is to share costs with the private sector.
