The manager of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana, Angel Garcia de la Bandera, held a meeting on Wednesday with the mayors of the towns of Dénia, Gata de Gorgos, Teulada and Calp to inform them that, starting next Saturday, 20 in August, the trains and buses that cover the service between Benidorm and Dénia will run every hour.
In this way, the frequency on the 9 Line will be improved, passing from the current 75 minutes to 60 minutes, which will allow offering an hourly train on the Benidorm-Calp stretch and a bus every hour between Calp and Dénia. This has been transferred on Wednesday to the municipal representatives with whom he has also addressed the operation of the alternative bus service that has been enabled in this section.
Regarding the actions planned in the 9 line of the TRAM, García de la Bandera explained that "FGV will continue this year with the modernization work on the more than 30 kilometers of road linking Calp and Dénia, continuing with the process of renovation and installation of the Automatic Blocking and ATP at the Teulada, Gata de Gorgos and Dénia stations with a budget close to six million euros ".
Those attending the meeting agreed to hold another meeting in the coming weeks to monitor the operation of bus service between Calpe and Denia and exchange views with the aim of collecting, by the public company, proposals to help improve the transport service in the region.
It should be remembered that the alternative service provided by FGV has three buses that are always in circulation, plus another two that are able to cover any eventuality. The price of the ticket is maintained according to the current rates in the TRAM of Alicante and can be purchased at the FGV facilities in Alicante in the affected municipalities.
