During the whole year of 2013, a total of 72,049 passengers were carried, representing an increase of 39.5% over 2012, when 51,660 people travelled, now in 2014 the 84,048 passengers represents an increase of 16.7% over last year, although still falling considerably below being full, with a theoretical 292,000 annual seats available.
The total number of passengers who began their journey at the Torrevieja end of the express service totalled 40,429, 48% of the total, whereas those who began their trip at Alicante-Elche airport destined for Torrevieja reached 43,655, the remaining 52%.
The average occupancy in 2014 amounted to 230 passengers each day, compared with 197 passengers per day in 2013, representing an increase of 14.34%. The theoretical capacity for the service on a 50-seater coach is 400 passengers each way per day.
The service departs Torrevieja every odd hour from 07:00 to 21:00, returning from the airport on every second even hour from 08:00 to 22:00. With 8 services each way, every day of the year, the service is express between the two points and travels on the motorway network, avoiding the N-332 coastal road.
