Figure 9. Distribution. Rating Criteria, Metropolitan Area/province

7. Demand purpose. High speed “vs” conventional services

Figures 10 and 11 show that:
• High Speed and Conventional Services are very different depending on purpose
• For HS, except for Galicia (Santiago and Ourense) where study purpose is important (15%),
work purpose lies between 40-55%
• For Conventional services the main purpose is “study” between (20-45%)
• The cases of Jerez de la Frontera and Santiago de Compostela with different kind of services,
show similar purpose distribution. This is the result of similar fares (reduced fares for HS
services in Santiago)
