TRAM d’Alacant Carried More Than 19 Million Passengers in 2025
Despite temporary works, the network records its second best year ever, driven by summer travel and major festivities.
TRAM d’Alacant enabled 19,015,836 passenger journeys in 2025 across its network of four tram lines, one train-tram line and one suburban rail line. Across Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) as a whole, total journeys made last year on TRAM d’Alacant, with just over 19 million passengers, and Metrovalencia, with 91,640,139, reached a combined figure of 110,655,975 journeys. Compared with 2024, this represents a decrease of 6.5 percent, as the previous year surpassed 20 million passengers across the entire TRAM d’Alacant network.
FGV managing director Alfonso Novo explained that 2025 still delivered a strong result, marking the second best year in the history of TRAM d’Alacant, noting that passenger numbers were affected, among other factors, by works carried out on the section between Hospital Vila and Benidorm, which required temporary service interruptions at different times along that stretch.
Novo also highlighted the performance of Line 9 between Benidorm and Dénia. Since reopening in full on 28 January 2025, the line has recorded growth of more than 19 percent compared with 2024, when it was still undergoing major works.
