The Municipal Socialist Group today accused Ballesta of "being like the horse of Atila with the transport in the municipality of Murcia", since in his different positions, as responsible transport counselor and as mayor, "has only been in charge of restricting bus lines and cut this public service with the consequent detriment that this entails for the neighbors, especially for those who live in remote districts and in areas of vegetable garden ".

In this sense, the councilman Juan Vicente Larrosa, who has offered a press conference today with the socialist representatives in Aljucer, Ainhoa ​​Sánchez;

Gea and Truyols, Jenifer Pérez, and San Ginés, Jesús Pintado, criticized the deletion, "unilaterally by the concessionaire company", of lines 45 and 18, which also affect El Palmar, Avileses, Sucina and Bańos and Beggar, in addition to the districts cited.

"We have spent ten days attending science fiction films, magnificent projects that are only in the head of the PP, because they belong to virtual reality, while the reality of the street, that of the thousands of neighbors of our municipality is that every time they have fewer services, sometimes, as now, with the excuse that they are not profitable, however, a public service should not seek profitability, but comply with citizens, "said Larrosa.

He also assured that "a concessionaire company, which has reported the suppression of the lines with a brief statement, can not make these decisions that harm the neighbors, even less that the City Council is looking as if it were not their responsibility and without ever informing the Transport Bureau "and added that the role of the Consistory is silence, therefore," whoever gives up grants, so we understand that if these lines are deleted, we can not expect them to be extended and put into march others requested, such as 1, 91, 39 and 7, or of course, the single bonus, because we already know that the concessionaire company, with the connivance of the PP, seeks profitability ".

Therefore, Larrosa announces that he will leave the Transportation Bureau, provided that lines 45 and 18 are not withdrawn and maintained, and that the PSOE will be with the neighbors in the mobilizations they organize.

For its part, the mayoress Aljucer pedáneo has highlighted that in September 2012 and line 61 was deleted and "as compensation we left the 18, which now disappears, leaving no service to an area of ​​garden where mainly elderly people live, which they need the bus to, for example, go to the health center. "

The pedáneo mayor of San Ginés has referred to the line 1, whose frequencies have been reduced and it has remembered that there are disabled users that remain without transport with the elimination of the 18.

In addition, the socialist representative of Gea and Truyols has denounced that his town in particular, but affects the entire field of Murcia, is without public transport to disappear line 45.

Larrosa has concluded that "of all this cut two conclusions are derived, that the neighbors of districts continue without interest to the PP and that he also does not care about sustainable mobility and reduce pollution, objectives that are achieved with more and better public transport".
