The spokesmen of both formations, José Antonio Serrano and Ginés Ruiz, have offered a press conference in which the socialist affirms that transport decisions are part of "circus numbers: I get a tram bus, then a metrominute, now appears a bus line, then disappears "

Ginéz Ruiz declares that the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, "in force today, has been replaced by the electoral program of the PP, and what were data and studies, today is a video rendered on a tramway circulating in the Barrio del Carmen "

The spokesmen of the Municipal Socialist Group, José Antonio Serrano, and Podemos-Equo, Ginés Ruiz, have offered a press conference to demonstrate the "chaotic situation" of public transport in the municipality, characterized by improvisation and unilateral decisions of the PP , and criticize the convocation of the Transportation Board for this morning, turned into a "paripé" after two years without being held and with a merely informative agenda, when the purpose of this body is to make consensual decisions.

Serrano declares that everything Mayor Ballesta proposes is part of "Circus numbers, I get a tram, then a metrominute, now a bus line appears, then disappears."

He adds that "in transport, during the last weeks we are attending two movements that run at the same time but will never converge: on the one hand to neighbors protesting for lack of service and on the other the PP making decisions without participation or studies that endorse them. "

For his part, Ruiz warns that "the Transportation Bureau was created as a participatory body where consensus on the mobility decisions of the municipality, if this Mesa is not participatory we will not be part of it."

He adds that "during these last two years in which it has not been convened, transcendental decisions have been taken in terms of mobility and public transport, not only without going through this body, but also separate from the PMUS of December 2013, which is the only Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan in force today. They have replaced it with the PP's electoral program, and what were data and studies, today is a video rendered on a tramway circulating in the Barrio del Carmen. "

"By the way, this video does not show how it is planned to pass the tram under the Rollo tunnel. The worst thing is that at the same time line 1 of the tram is announced, they report that they are bidding for a new study for € 212,000, to analyze which transport model must be implemented, but they have already decided and already want to execute it, "he adds.

The socialist spokesman says that "we have overcrowding, insufficient frequencies, expensive prices, villages separated by a few kilometers without connection, districts without transport during weekends and thousands of neighbors condemned to take their private car every day," and He gives several examples: a neighbor of San Ginés who has to go to the doctor in Nonduermas, has to go through Murcia first;

We also have Gea and Truyols users who have been left without Social Services attention and have to move to Beniaján by private car because there is no bus, the same happens with a woman from Zeneta who has to go to the midwife at the health center of Farmhouses ".

Faced with this situation, the mayor arrives "with all his pageantry, his lights and his photos and tells us through the media that a new transport system, the tramway, will be launched, which will in no case give service to the farthest districts and it is a means that the PP was removed from the top hat in an election campaign, "both spokesmen point out.

In addition, they point out that Ballesta announces a deterrent parking plan, which does not even appear in the Mobility Plan, even one of those car parks is located on the land that the PP itself offered for the Dance Conservatory.

However, they wonder if these parking lots will be connected to the city center by public transport and if they will be free.

Serrano and Ruiz, who also refer to the constant episodes of pollution, insist on improvisation and patches of the PP policy, remember that if line 45 is now assumed, managed by the Autonomous Community, the powers are being expanded improper that the City Council pays, and ensure that the future of the municipality is being mortgaged.
