The three regions that comprise the 13 municipalities to which the TRAM d'Alacant network offers train and tram service accommodated 19.946.839 trips last year, divided into 228.249 in Marina Alta, 17.010.447 in L'Alacantí and 2.708143 in Marina Baixa. These figures mean that the specific weight of each region is 1,14%, 85,28% and 13,58% respectively, of the total of the metropolitan network.
The Marina Alta region is home to five municipalities, among which stands out Dénia with 120.025 passengers in 2024 and 0,60% of the metro movements. Calp, with 37.053, is 0,19%; Teulada, with 33.593, 0,17%; Gata de Gorgos, with 29.635 users, 0,15%; and Benissa, with 7.943, 0,04% of TRAM d'Alacant.
It is worth remembering that for almost the entire year, rail traffic on Line 9 has been interrupted between Calp and Altea due to modernisation works on the line itself, with a substitute bus service being offered, which may have reduced passengers to the two regions of La Marina.
The L'Alacantí region is home to the municipality with the most movements in 2024, the capital Alicante, which contributed 13.506.909 users, 67,71% of the total TRAM d'Alacant. Sant Vicent del Raspeig accumulated 1.968.292, 9,87%, and El Campello obtained 1.535.246 passengers, 7,70% of the network traffic.
The Marina Baixa region is also home to five municipalities, including Benidorm, which, with 1.535.588 passengers, has become the third municipality with the most movements on the network, surpassing El Campello by just 342 traffics, which represents 7,70% of TRAM d'Alacant journeys. La Vila Joiosa, with 644.480, represents 3,23%; Altea, with 263.371, 1,32%; Finestrat, with 175.663, 0,88% and Alfàs del Pi, with 89.041, 0,45% of the total.
