PSOE Councilman José Manuel Abellán regrets today after receiving the strategy document on transport, that 15-year rule of PP in La Glorieta not have improved one iota the unstoppable deteriorating public transport supports the Municipality of Murcia

Socialist Councilman José Manuel Abellán regrets that the document public transport strategy unveiled today to the political groups in opposition proceedings contemplated only in the town of Murcia, where interchanges are planned and some park and ride has been calling for the Group Socialist years.

Forgotten hamlets

It is clear, Abellan-complaint that the districts once again miss out on this strategy and, therefore, discrimination against those stocks to 60 percent of citizens living in them is more than evident.

While users experience daily problems with public transport and mobility, continues the PSOE Councillor, the document presented today is not defined short-term strategies to resolve this type of situation, to cite one example, no mention of the solutions short term to Bacons Bridge Road or the Southern Cordillera.

What about funding?

Similarly, Abellán regrets that the document not be reflected budgetary commitments that are going to fund the proposed actions.

"A strategic plan that clearly inconsistent does not provide any funding."

Moreover, and since public transportation in the municipality depends on 80% of the CARM and mobility in Murcia is affected by private vehicles and buses that come from other towns, says the mayor of the PSOE, "we have also missed that this document has not been discussed within the Public Transport Authority, a regional body dedicated exclusively to this subject. "

Enough of cuts

Finally, Abellán wonders how it is possible that the local government, so contradictory, is making cuts and more cuts without the commission created to improve public transport, who, in this regard recalls the suppression of frequencies and some hours 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, as well as cuts in owl bus by 50 percent and the elimination of night watchmen, and others.
