| More than half of the 5,500 planned questionnaires have already been carried out | Surveys of Murcians continue to be used to prepare the Study of urban public transport reorganization.Now, the questionnaire includes new questions to adjust to the new normal, mainly aimed at identifying telework and the variations that it produces, avoiding a distortion of reality.In this way, the model includes, among others, new questions such as whether you travel to the usual place of work or can work from home or have changed means of transport in these months.So far, a total of 2,865 surveys have been carried out (1,087 in neighborhoods and 1,778 in districts), that is, 52% of the 5,500 that will make up the study.

According to forecasts, this field work could be completed in mid-October.It should be remembered that these works had to be suspended due to the fact that the closure of educational centers due to the health crisis of COVID-19 caused a clear distortion of the results obtained from the survey.

Until the time of the suspension, 15% of the total of 5,500 scheduled surveys had been carried out, which were resumed in mid-September.In total, there will be 3,528 polls that will be carried out in districts and that will be added to the 2,072 that will be carried out in the urban area and where the technicians will ask about the trips made the day before the call.These surveys will be carried out through an innovative segmentation system that increases the quality of the results obtained and guarantees citizen participation in the future Mobility Plan.For this, the type and their territorial distribution of the respondents will be taken into account based on the mobility results obtained from the mobile terminals (georeferencing), so that both data sources are compatible and are enriched by their fusion.The Councilor for Sustainable Mobility and Youth, Rebeca Pérez, has asked Murcians "for their maximum collaboration with this process since with this we will all develop the best transport system for Murcia, which will back up the entire territory by linking the urban area with the districts and the districts among themselves, effectively ".Thanks to this technical assistance, which has an award budget of 212,139 euros, the document that will collect the technical service project that will serve as the basis for the future tender for urban and metropolitan public transport in the municipality of Murcia will be drawn up.

.The technical assistance also works on the analysis of the 1,580 stops and 40 lines that make up the network of public transport in the municipality of Murcia.
