Abstract
Public transport in the Alicante area has evolved in two stages. The tramway network played the maine role from the late 19 (tm) century up to the nineteen sixties. The trams met the existing demand for transport and guided the city's growth and expansion. In recent years, the second stage has followed in parallel the rapid increase in private cars along with the bus system. Buses are more and more unsuitable nowadays to the area needs. This article proposes a radical change of approach to public transport systems in the Alicante metropolitan area.
