Socialist Party spokesman, Pedro Lopez, has reported today that the publication in the Official Gazette of the Region of Murcia in the order of the Ministry of Public Works to restructure the districts lines to the consummation of the biggest cut in history public transport in Murcia.

Scraps and patches, no rearrangement

Although disguised as rearrangement-Lopez-assured in practice only cuts and patches on a model that has proved totally ineffective and with which the City can not sit idly by, 60% of the residents of districts live in our town. "

Likewise, the PSOE spokesman recalled that remains unaddressed actual rearrangement because announcing new lines when it really does is merge with others that are deleted and thus can never build anything reasonable.

Examples

So Lopez gives as examples of this injustice the new line that will go from 78 to Campus Espinardo Beniaján via La Arrixaca is the result of combining the 27 and the 38.

"You need to connect with direct routes to the districts of the municipality strategic points but do so in a reasonable manner, with no runs over an hour," he insisted.

Also - added-in general, the frequencies are going to step worsened and towns like Santiago and Zaraiche, Ermita del Rosario or center Aljucer remain offline with public transport.

Increases the imbalance

Similarly, Lopez stressed that this cut, no reordering, will contribute more to abuse citizens, especially those living in neighboring districts, and will increase the social divide between certain areas and the city center, especially since from 1 October in the village will be another public transport company, with more modern buses and other price.

In this sense, the Socialist spokesman recalled that the PSOE allegations presented, the only party that collected the demands of the residents, included an express rejection of the cuts.

This has required political representatives who are sensitive to the current situation of citizens and understand that public transport is a service not only for users, but also defines a model municipality, territorially represents and promotes economic development and social.

"Decisions can not be made solely on thinking economic profitability of the service, but in the social profitability of public transport", has defended the Socialist spokesman, who added that "we still expect an agreement between the autonomous region and the municipality with the Latbus company because it has already been over a month since travelers districts are paying 2.15 euros per ticket and are still unable to use savings bonds. "

Finally, Lopez reported that the Socialists will continue collecting signatures and intensifying pressure measurements because "it is necessary to raise awareness about the urgent need to say enough is enough with this nonsense."
