TUVISA (Spanish pronunciation: [tuˈβisa]; short for Transportes Urbanos de Vitoria, S.A.) is the municipal company responsible for urban transport in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the north of Spain.[4] As of March 2022, the company operates 97 buses.[2]
History
[edit]On 30 October 2009, the whole network was reorganized, resulting in a lower number of lines operating with shorter headways.[5] The reorganization of the network was suggested by the Plan de Movilidad Sostenible, 'Sustainable Mobility Plan', aimed at improving traffic and mobility in the city.[citation needed] In October 2010, some changes to the network were made,[which?] with additional changes in September 2012 and February 2013.[citation needed] A tenth line was added to the network in 2015.[6]
