The BusPlana Vilanova i la Geltrú-Vilafranca del Penedès line increases the number of passengers by 32%

• From January to June, almost 100,000 people have already used the connection between the two cities

• The increase was 34.22% compared to last year and 64.14% compared to 2019

• The number of trips was increased on the 4th of September in response to increased demand

• The line is one of 15 operated by Grup Plana in the Garraf and Alt Penedès regions within the Generalitat's public road transport network

Almost 100,000 people have already used the Vilafranca del Penedès-Vilanova i la Geltrú line from January to June, 34% more than the same period last year. 

The line was reinforced in September, reaching 46 daily trips, with a frequency of every half hour at peak times and every hour at off-peak times, from Monday to Friday on working days. 

The public response has been notable and the number of passengers on this line, which connects the Garraf and Alt Penedès regions, has increased significantly. 

This helps, among other things, students travelling to training centres (UPC-Escola Superior d'Enginyeria de Vilanova and URV-Grau d'Infermeria Escola d'Enoturisme de Vilafranca, among others). 

Coinciding with the increase in service, Grup Plana has also reinforced its customer service team, which now handles 9,500 calls and 3,000 messages a month. 

The Vilafranca del Penedès-Vilanova i la Geltrú line is one of the 15 routes offered by Grup Plana in the Garraf and Alt Penedès area, with a fleet of sustainable coaches (Euro6 certified). As of the 1st of July, BusPlana also operates the new e25 line, of Vilanova i la Geltrú-Vilafranca del Penedès-Igualada.
