The Málaga Metro will not come into service this November, as had been announced, and it was confirmed on Thursday that the launch date has now been put back until February 2013. The hoped-for date for service on some sections of the system was November 11, 2011 at 11.11 am. The Junta de Andalucía has however now said that it would mean an extra cost of 12 million € to inaugurate the service before the connection between Lines 1 and 2 is complete. Vice regional councillor for public works and transport, José Salgueiro, told reporters on Thursday that the decision was taken on advice from Metro Málaga, the company which will manage the system. The original plan, now shelved, was to open just two sections of track with a total length of just three kilometres, which would have only been used by some 2,000 people a day and would therefore not be profitable.
