This video follows the route of line 1 from the Intercambiador terminus in Santa Cruz up to La Laguna plus scenes from line 2. Although the 12.5 km. line is almost all street running, it is totally segregated from road traffic throughout. There are 3 tunnels, 2 of which have the branches to line 2 inside them, the 3rd tunnel is in La Laguna under a road intersection. There are 26 Alstom Citadis 5 section trams to provide the service. This chapter was filmed between 2007 and 2017 when the line celebrated it's 10th anniversary. Part 2 of the video is of buses on Tenerife.
