The Socialist Municipal Group criticizes that the PP consents that the bike rental service, MuyBici, is "moribund", a state motivated by the "indolence and apathy that has shown by not moving a finger to solve the problems that the company has gone denouncing in recent months, "as explained by Councilman Enrique Ayuso, who warns that" this is the chronicle of a death announced. "

In addition, "the municipal government team has given rise to the company that has been providing the service an administrative dispute when a year ago is warning the City of problems, especially economic, some arising from breach of the contract itself," has explained.

In this sense, Ayuso recalled that MuyBici has asked the government team to advertise in the municipal media in order to publicize the service and to increase the number of users, and also has not been able to extend tours of the districts.

To this, we must add that "from the Municipal Socialist Group we have presented motions, which have not been met to try to solve some of the obstacles that this service has had to overcome, implemented in many cities and in good working order", and remember that MuyBici, launched in January 2015, has suffered vandalism, has not had enough bicycles in the parking stations, has presented continuous failures in the computer system of these stations, there has been the abolition of benches in the areas of the Atalayas, Santiago el Mayor, San Juan de la Cruz or La Fama, did not expand as planned the system to the districts of Murcia and also the bicycles were not in good condition because they have presented constant failures in the brakes, defective adjustments of handlebars and saddle or problems in the direction.

"In October 2017 the company reported the difficulties, in addition to the fact that users have filed many complaints during the time that this service has been running, however, far from addressing the deficiencies, the PP is letting the service die. we will never believe this government team when it talks about sustainable mobility, since now it has been the rent of bicycles, but we have also suffered the abolition of bike lanes, and better public transport no longer speak, "he said.

For all this, he regretted that "we run out of this system, which so many cities have implemented and in good working order, because the government team has not done anything, despite having been notified by the company for a year."
