| And "comply with its obligation for PHASE 1" | Groups such as No + Precariousness, Platform for the Recovery of Public Transport, Yayoflautas or FAVEMUR demand that the regional government and the city council restitute 80% of the expeditions in at least fifteen districts of Murcia and end with "serious breaches that cause damage serious.
" The Region of Murcia entered Phase 1 of the "de-escalation" on Monday, May 11.
As it appears in Annex II of the "Guide to facilitating access to measures" published by the Ministry of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda, among the measures that this change entailed is that of replacing "Public transport in urban environments and intercity services at service offer levels of 80-100% ". In line with the above, a few days ago, the Murcia City Council announced the restitution of all urban passenger transport lines by road that transit only throughout the metropolitan area of ??the municipality, the buses known colloquially as "los coloraos" .
However, the same has not happened in the case of the lines that connect the residents of the districts of Murcia with the center, or several districts among themselves, whose service corresponds to Latbús and whose competence corresponds to the autonomous government. This has meant that residents from different places affected districts have sent their complaints to the Ministry of Development and, secondly, to the city as the ultimate guarantor of mobility in the municipality of Murcia.
Specifically, a group of neighborhood groups of various kinds such as the "Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Murcia and Region" (FAVEMUR), "Assembly Murcia without Walls", "No + Precariousness", "Yayoflautas Murcia" or "Platform for the Recovery of the Public Transport ", have expressed their discontent with the General Directorate of Transport of the CARM for"breach their obligation to restitute the lines and routes of public transport between Murcia and a good number of districts that were temporarily suspended due to the declaration of the state of alarm ".
They affirm that they have contacted this body in writing and by telephone without having received the least response on the issues raised. Attending to the routes and schedules accessible to citizens through the website of the Latbús concessionaire, it is observed that around thirteen lines currently carry out between 1 and 4 daily expeditions, far from the usual 20-25 before the start.
of the health crisis. In addition, line 30, which makes the journey between the hamlet of Los Ramos and Murcia, only offers 7 expeditions (approximately 25% of the usual) despite being one of the services that historically has always recorded the largest number of travelers from all over the municipality.
The data obtained from Latbús and contrasted with Paco Ruipérez (member of the Public Transport Board by the "Murcia by bike" Association) and José Enrique Ruiz (Platform for the Recovery of Public Transport), can be specified in the following lines whose services continue being almost non-existent. Francisco Guirao, a neighbor of Aljucer, points out that the line that connects the orchard areas of El Palmar, San Ginés and Aljucer with the center of Murcia (26-B), has been without service of any kind until a week ago.
And currently, the service provided does not exceed two daily expeditions.
He maintains that this absence of service is causing serious problems for those neighbors who do not have their own vehicle to get to and from their workplace, or who need to move outside their hamlet to carry out any unavoidable management. Hazards Martínez (member of Yayoflautas Murcia) wanted to emphasize that, "while they are taking away necessary services, many neighbors are 'pulled', it is avoided that there are Latbús workers who can return to their jobs and be less 'tight' to get ahead To his family". For José Enrique Ruiz, "it is absolutely regrettable to find nonsense like the line that connects Murcia with Alcantarilla and Espinardo (the 44-D) have only one expedition a day and none in the morning, that residents in Sangonera la Verde only have an expedition to get to Murcia before noon (no less than 6:45 am), or that you can only take one bus a day to get to the Hospital of La Arrixaca from Corvera (at 7:00 am) ...
there are too many examples like these.
" From the neighborhood groups, their intention has been announced to spread their voice to the institutions of the municipality and the autonomous community to achieve a solution to what they consider "serious breaches of public officials that cause serious damage to working families in our environment ", leaving open the possibility of resorting to the judicial route.
