What is FGC’s school train service and what reasons justify the provision of this service?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The school train service by Ferrocarrils is a pioneering school transportation program. This service consists of a mobility plan specifically designed for all students up to 16 years old who travel on the Barcelona-Vall\u00e8s Line. This line is used by a significant volume of passengers from schools and colleges.<\/p>\n

The program\u2019s fundamental objectives are to facilitate student mobility using rail transport, reduce traffic congestion and enhance the safety, comfort, and accessibility of minors, while also increasing the comfort of other customers by grouping together these similar individual or school student groups.<\/p>\n

In essence, through this service, FGC aims to provide fully-inclusive accessibility to all schools near the line, and contribute to the goal of increasingly sustainable and safe mobility.<\/p>\n

Currently, the school transport service transports a daily average of 1,100 students from their places of residence to schools and vice versa.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
