Renfe Cercanías (Commuter) provides passenger transport in areas of intense, recurring travel, applying the criteria of quality, efficiency, innovation and guidance for the customer.

Our aim is to consolidate our service as one of essential, efficient and prestigious public transport, and to establish it as a point of reference for sustainable, safe citizen mobility. Certification in accordance with the UNE-EN 13816 Standard (Public Passenger Transport) adapts and contributes to this goal. We also believe that our performance in our daily operations meets with the parameters set for quality, and that Renfe Cercanías (Commuter) is one of the services most appreciated by citizens, as reflected in the evaluation we receive from the different customer satisfaction surveys that we carry out.

The three lines with certification have an length of 219 kilometres, passing through districts like La Plana Baixa, La Safor and La Ribera Alta. We run more than 250 trains a day to meet a demand in excess of 40,000 passengers who rely on us for their travel for the purposes of work, leisure and study.

This Service Offer contains the commitments to quality of service that we establish with our customers on the three lines of the Valencia Cercanías Hub, certified in accordance with the UNE-EN 13816 Standard. This European Standard, through its Particular Regulation for Passenger Public Transport, sets required levels for each of these commitments, grouped into 8 major sections. These levels must be measured periodically to verify the degree of compliance. If necessary, corrective steps must be taken to reach the set levels.

This document contains the definition of these commitments, as well as the levels and standards that we take on. We will communicate our level of compliance annually on the Renfe Valencia Cercanías Website.

We aim to have a global, integrated vision of quality of service: from the viewpoint of customers, what they expect and what they perceive; and from the viewpoint of Renfe Cercanías (Commuter), what we offer and what we put into service. The aim is to reduce possible differences between what customers expect and what they perceive, and between the service proposed and that finally given.
