The frequency of the races is impressive, comparable to the Big Capitals. At peak times, the wait between one train and the next is even just two minutes! In the evening, however, the frequency stands still, around the 10 minutes.
The service is guaranteed for virtually all 24 hours. During the week, the meter is closed exclusively by 01:00 at 04:00; on the weekends, it closes only two hours, from 02:00 to 04:00.
