Best urban integration, interaction with traffic and convenience for residents and consumers in the area.
These are some of the arguments that reinforce the proposal to build the tram platform along the medians of Juan de Borbón, Ronda de Levante and Juan Carlos I.

A historical project
The Mayor of Murcia, Miguel Ángel Cámara, recalled that the implementation of the new tram is the largest investment in public work in the history of the town, amounting to 264 million euros.

Murcia tram becomes the biggest gamble in the municipal history of the city of Murcia, second only in the area of the region for the future airport.
Furthermore, there is a municipal investment, but the future concessionaire of the line, which, in turn, will get its operation over the next 40 years.

During the 40-year concession is expected to use the tram 513 million users, which means that during the first year will travel on the tram 5.5 million people.
This figure will increase as time goes on.
According to forecasts, the tram will be operational in late 2010, after six months had passed the test.

Of these 18 miles, three correspond to the ring surrounds the University of Murcia and more than 3.5 to the shuttle to the Catholic University.
As for the frequency step has been determined that in the tram line in V will every eight minutes during peak hours and every twelve-peak while the shuttle to the UCAM is between 15 and 20 minutes.
