PSOE: "Public transport needs improvements and extensions, no more cuts and unilateral decisions at the whim of House" (08/07/2010)

Councilman José Manuel Abellán PSOE after the convening of the commission to improve transport, regretted, once again, the mayor's unwillingness to accommodate Murcia and participation within this body of citizens affected entities and local political groups

The socialist mayor José Manuel Abellán regretted that, once again, thousands of people from Murcia look ignored and can not attend these meetings misnamed citizen participation, in which matters of interest and competence in terms of municipal whims and unilateral decisions by the mayor House.

Thus, Abellán has been referred to the committee for improving transportation today convened, at which the Councillor of the PSOE has been defined as "a flawed commission, as the government made chamber, which are not present nor affected citizens' organizations or political groups that are part of the municipal corporation. "

Also, Abellán has stressed that this is a commission that once you take your decisions will have to be discussed within the Public Transport Authority, so that would not have been more logical then arises, that these proposals have been made within this regional body, so the City could have saved some money.

On deaf ears

As to the measures outlined within this committee, the mayor of the PSOE is pleased "because many of these proposals are what we've been making for years."

In this sense, Abellán recalled that over the last two legislatures, the Socialist Group, through motions, has tabled in Parliament a number of initiatives in this regard, necessary proposals for the improvement of public transport have fallen on deaf ears, among which are:

Creating exclusive platforms for buses.

Plan and provide the bus in an exclusive platform for circulation, as is being done with the tram, in the present roads and, above all in those of the new urban developments.

Plan and create a network of park and ride, free and guarded, from which you can directly access to public transport.

Unification and lowering tariffs.

Extension of hours and frequency of passage.

Improvement in the owl-bus lines.

Reform of the stops in districts to make them accessible.

Strengthening of certain lines during peak hours.

Improving information, complete the shelters and make all stops are accessible, especially in those districts.

Write and implement a comprehensive project to interconnect city and districts to bus, tram and bicycle lanes.

Implementation at certain locations (university, La Arrixaca) hotline, etc.

In direct contradiction

Finally, the socialist mayor asks how it is possible that the PP municipal, so contradictory, is making cuts and more cuts without the commission for the improvement of public transport.

Remember the removal of frequencies and some times in lines 7, 12, 27, 30 and 31, removal of the line for workers in the Arrixaca, line to the airport and going directly to the city from Zeneta health in addition to cuts in bus owl by 50 percent and the elimination of night watchmen, and others.
