The Socialist councilor Andrea Garries, requires giving Iniesta Chamber reversed its intention to withdraw the subsidy that the City intended for night bus service starting next Tuesday.
Garries buhobús notes that performs an important social function by allowing the nightly journeys safely from the entertainment areas of the city to the districts and therefore insists that it is necessary to maintain the current economic assistance.
"Otherwise, says Garries, Latbus company in charge of the service, and has warned that the ticket price would go up to five euros so it would be before a new rate hikes, but also risks that directly buhobús delete ".
Therefore, the Socialist councilor warns that if this aid is finally removed, the PSOE presented motions in Parliament and in all municipal boards to keep buhobús service because "we believe that cutting 145,000 euros earmarked by the City Council to fund this service within a total budget for Transport of EUR 17.5 million is absolutely ridiculous. "
To Garries, buhobús social profitability is fully demonstrated by almost half a million users since its launch in 2005 by five lines that connect the city to the districts.
"Trimming on the night bus would be a new twist to the districts and especially for young people are faring rather badly."
Finally, the socialist mayor criticizes that while House and Iniesta are considering leaving the buhobús unassisted, while they are working on extending the hours of the tram to the malls until 1am.
"A Streetcar costs us almost ten million euro a year in which the PP is determined to spend all the resources at the expense of deteriorating municipal public transport throughout the city," concludes Garries.
