The Metro de Madrid provides this Wednesday with a 91.79% service during the peak hour of the 24-hour general strike, while the volume of users has collapsed by 54% at the start of the strike day.
With data gathered at 8.00 a.m., the public company has said that 91.79% of the trains are running compared with a usual Wednesday at the same time, "above minimum services," as it detailed in a message on its official profile on 'X'.
The Community of Madrid set for this day of strike minimum services on the Metro network at 80% of trains in the periods with the highest demand (between 07.30 and 09.30; between 14.00 and 16.00 hours and between 18.00 and 20.00 hours) and at 50% during periods of lower attendance (the rest of the commercial schedule).
Between the start of service and 8.00 a.m., the Madrid underground had been used by 137,124 people, which represents a 54% drop compared with the same interval on Wednesday of the previous week.
In this context of general stoppage, trains were running with an average frequency of between 4 and 5 minutes.
