Segmentation
In line 1 of the metro of Seville, the various rates are established according to the number of segment transfers that the user requires in order to travel from the original station to the final one. For this reason, the line is subdivided zones with different rates, which generally correspond with the borders of the municipalities of Seville and the rest of the metropolitan area through which the line runs. The stations of Blas Infante and Pablo de Olavide serve as the two nexuses between the three zones, and as such, any user moving from a zone to one of these two points does not pay the segment transfer fee.Stations
