This route is also expanded and the EMT line is expanded from scheduled Legazpi to Arganzula-Planetary, which is used for free during the end.
This alternative plan was designed after collecting the opinion of thousands of consumers of L6, whom the metro interviewed on the foot of the platform to know their needs. As on the suburban website, all information about the works is available at the stations and the company has developed a platform to plan these routes, which is available through QR at alternative bus stops.
