| The socialist councilor Juan Vicente Larrosa denounces that the abandonment of this public service will leave many people lying and without mobility options and will increase the levels of pollution, noise and traffic | The great pending task of the municipality of Murcia remains unattended: public transport.
The Municipal Socialist Group denounces the situation in which it finds itself "the frequencies have still not been recovered after the reduction due to the pandemic, there are totally disconnected areas, very long journeys and prices in many cases too expensive.
And once again, it is the neighbors and neighboring districts are those who suffer the most from the abandonment of this service, "protests the socialist mayor Juan Vicente Larrosa. "We are in August, the month with the least movement of the year and transportation problems are still present.
I don't even want to imagine how we will be when September arrives, which in case Ballesta has not found out yet, I remind him that it is the week that comes ", laments the councilman.
"On August 23, the capacity of public and private transport in the Region was reduced to 50%.
This meant reducing again the capacity of public transport considerably.
Right now LAT is operating at 54% of the usual service on weekdays.
capacity reduction, the offer becomes 27% ", reports the Socialist councilor. According to Larrosa, "all this is going to cause many residents of the entire municipality, but especially of districts and peripheral neighborhoods, to remain stranded at the stops because the capacity of the buses is not going to give for more.
There are people who Without being able to take the bus, he runs out of mobility options.
It is a reality that is probably far removed from the day-to-day life of Ballesta, but no less real for that ", Larrosa reproaches the mayor of the municipality.
"The other option with guarantees is to take your own vehicle, those who have it, but this option will also bring adverse effects to our city, or is pollution and noise no longer worrying our mayor?" the opposition councilor asks. "It is necessary to recover 100% of the service now, and to increase the frequencies to compensate for the capacity restrictions.
You cannot destroy such an important public service in this way." warns Juan Vicente Larrosa.
"This continuous stigmatization and neglect of transport, with the Minister of Development at the head, will not lessen the effects of the virus, it will only further complicate the lives of the residents of Murcia." "The Murcia City Council must demand that its colleague from the Community reinforce all the lines and take care of those that are within its competence.
There is no other way.
Following the path that we are taking until now will lead us to chaos," concludes Larrosa.
