In addition, the escape hatch grates also help to ventilate the tunnel.
* In 2022, for line 1, 140 technical service workers and 20 conductors were trained in safe work on or near the track and within 2023 the training of 80 more conductors is expected to be completed. In addition, retraining of train drivers in matters of health and safety at work is planned.
