One of the main new features was the extension of Route 23 to the City of Justice, aimed at serving events scheduled at the new leisure area in the Expo Riverfront. Between October 7 and 16, this bus route would extend its service until 10 p.m.
Route V4 was also being launched, a shuttle service between Valdespartera and Constitución promenade agreed with neighborhood associations in the Southern Districts. The service sought to provide an alternative to the overcrowding the tram had experienced in previous years. It would operate approximately between 4:15 p.m. and midnight, with nine-minute intervals, and would have its terminus at Los Pájaros rather than next to the Mago de Oz stop.
The plan also included the entire bus fleet available during the festivities, special services to the Amusement Park and North Parking, and nighttime reinforcements. Night buses would run in duplicate on seven of the festive nights and would have two additional minibuses on the days of highest demand.
The tram, meanwhile, would run 24 hours a day and reach five-minute intervals during periods of peak attendance. Its service would be interrupted between Murallas and Plaza España during major events such as the opening proclamation, the Flower and Fruit Offerings, the Crystal Rosary and the Fireworks.
The reinforcements for Valdespartera, the Expo Riverfront and nighttime services defined that plan to transport thousands of Zaragoza residents during the festivities. This is how Aragón Digital reported it 10 years ago, in the original story about the special public transport plan for the Pilar Festivities.
