The Metro de Madrid provides this Wednesday a service equivalent to 79% of its usual peak-hour offering during the day of the general strike, while the volume of users has been reduced by 21% at the start of the 24-hour stoppage.
With data from 7.00 a.m., the metropolitan company has detailed that at that time 79% of the trains were in circulation compared with a normal Wednesday, "above the minimum services," as it pointed out in a message shared on its official account on 'X'.
For this day of strike, the Comunidad de Madrid has set minimum services on the Metro network at 80% of the trains in the periods of highest demand (between 07.30 and 09.30; between 14.00 and 16.00 hours and between 18.00 and 20.00 hours), and 50% during off-peak hours, which cover the rest of the operating schedule.
Between the start of service and 7.00 a.m., a total of 78.731 people had used the Madrid subway, which represents a 21% decrease compared with the same interval of the previous Wednesday.
During that time period, the trains were running with an average frequency of between 5 and 6 minutes.
