SEVILLE, SPAIN – As the capital of Andalucia and the fourth largest city in Spain, Seville is turning heads with an impressive public transportation system. Where you would expect a city crowded with cars and the incessant honking of horns, the quiet hum of buses and trams fills the air. The previous mayor of Seville, Alfredo Sanchez Monteseirin, made extensive changes to improve public transportation during his time in office. These changes included creating bicycle lanes, redirecting traffic to allow for expanded pedestrian zones in the historic area, completing the metro-line project and creating “El Tranvia,” the tramline that runs through La Avenida de la Constitucion. As a result, the people of Seville are able to walk safely through traffic-free streets of the historic area. While cars are no longer an issue, pedestrians are not the only ones lining the streets. Along with the expanded walkways, bike lanes were constructed for roller skaters, skateboarders and bicyclists. Fines discourage people from walking on these lanes.
