Sanitary measures
Safe mobility plan
Our goal is to restore confidence that public transport is a safe, comfortable and ecofriendly space for everyone.
This year our organization has renewed the COVID GOOD PRACTICES certification that the OCA GLOBAL entity certifies that all processes comply with the standards and that the preventive measures applied are efficient to keep all our internal and external stakeholders protected against any possible risk of contagion.

Specific disinfectant products with viricidal action are used apart from complementing and reinforcing the cleaning with viricidal products that are sprayed directly after sanitizing on, bars, handrails, grips, handles, seats and all the interior elements of the vehicle.
Likewise, and on a daily basis, once the vehicles have been thoroughly cleaned, disinfection is completed with a high-power ozone cannon, which removes biological contaminants such as bacteria and viruses.
Due to its unique characteristics, ozone meets many of the ideals of a biocide such as:
- Be effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including viruses.
- Act quickly and be effective in low concentrations.
- Do not cause deterioration of materials.
- It is safe and easy to use and apply.
- It is disposed of quickly and easily without leaving dangerous substances that can harm health and the environment.
- Purification of the interior air of vehicles, achieving a pleasant, fresh and odor-free environment.
- Deodorant: elimination of odors, especially those of organic (human) origin, as well as VOC (volatile organic compounds).
- End the problems of odors, contagions and allergies due to environmental pollution.
The rules and recommendations of the health, labor and transport authorities are followed, to offer the maximum guarantees of protection to travellers and that they can return to travel in a calm and safe way.
