The Socialist Municipal Group regrets that "once again we are faced with the same problem of previous years in these Fair dates and it is the lack of public transport," according to councilman Juan Vicente Larrosa, who states that "nor have frequencies increased of buses and the days of the owl bus have not been extended, so we are as we were last week or last month. Sustainable mobility is still the great pending issue, also in Fair ".

Therefore, the government team "again commits the same mistake every year and is to let the immense population of our municipality, that live in the villages, depend on the private car, with the limitations of also missing from parking and with the consequences of contamination implied by the use of the private vehicle ".

"Of course for the Socialist Group this is a clear symptom that the Murcia Fair is not for the entire municipality, it penalizes citizens of districts," says Larrosa, who recriminates the government team that has such a "minimalist" concept or reductionist of what is the municipality, where surely there are many families who live in the most remote locality and who want to take their children to the Fair or young people who want to enjoy the cinema on the river, who do not have the guaranteed return with public transport. "

In addition, the councilor explains "if an older person, a citizen who does not drive or a young person wants to come to the orchards for dinner today, Tuesday will find that there is no bus owl, because it is only operational on weekends and on the eve of holidays, as during the rest of the year ", with" the aggravating fact that as you want to take this transport from the Fica it is not possible, because the stop is in Atalayas ".

Larrosa also points out that in the end moving to the events of the Fair is limited to the option of private car, with few expensive parking spaces and expensive private parking, or taking a taxi that up to Sangonera la Seca is a journey of 20 euros that a Young alone can not afford.

To all this, "we must specify that, while other municipalities encourage citizens not to take the car at parties, for example in Melilla, where users can make the journey for € 0.30 by bus; in Murcia we always do the reverse path and all because of disinterest, apathy or abandonment of functions. "

And, "of course, the tram is for what it is, thanks that the day of the concert is reinforced."

From the Socialist Group, "we believe that, given the limited bus service, the government team leaves no alternative but the private car and in this case should have offered lower parking prices, a special Fair fare, although the best is always encourage, increase and improve public transport. "
