Councilor Larrosa points out that "it is about reinforcing the line at the entrance and exit of the educational centers or that at peak times the buses are of greater capacity and, of course, the Transportation Board is convened, which has been without months for 20 months. get together"

The Socialist Municipal Group resubmits a motion to the Plenary to try to correct "the great deficiencies and deficiencies of public transport in the municipality where we find expensive buses, lines that do not connect the entire territory and frequencies that force to throw all the Tomorrow for a medical appointment, "summarizes councilman Juan Vicente Larrosa, who warns that the ability to be connected depends a lot on the level of development of a territory, just as it is true that the absence of efficient public transport creates insurmountable imbalances."

Therefore, this time, while again demanding the convening of the Transportation Board, collects complaints from neighbors about existing problems with Lightning 80, which connects Santiago El Mayor and the area of ​​Ronda Sur with the center from the city, "a crowded line of users that leaves many students grounded."

"We are facing one of the most developed areas of our municipality and, in fact, this line, of municipal concession, is the most used of all those that depend directly on this City Council, with an average of more than 40,000 monthly users, it is say, more than 1,300 daily travelers use this transport line, "explains the Socialist councilor.

"It is an essential service for hundreds of young people who do not have a teaching center in their area of ​​residence, so they have to use this line to go to and from their institutes, however, it is not easy, they have to pass a bus after another because it arrives at the crowded stops, "which for Larrosa is" an anomaly of the first order that in the times of communication technology and smart city we have students who arrive at their home, after a long training day, with an unjustified delay ".

For the councilman, the solution "is not so difficult, it is to increase the buses at the entrance and exit of the educational centers or also that at peak times the buses that circulate are of greater capacity so that users are not affected" , and this is precisely what the councilor asks for in his motion.

Larrosa, who points out that there are also problems with other lines such as Lightning 12 and 14, considers that an extension of frequencies and schedules at night and on weekends regarding the Lightning line 80 is urgent and relevant and, of course, states that all these problems must be studied and decided at the Transportation Board, which has not met since March 21, 2018, that is, almost 20 months ago, which "evidences the importance that the Government team gives to public transport" .
