| The spokesperson affirms that "we do not understand how it is possible that an essential and necessary public service for so many neighbors and residents of this municipality are in these deplorable conditions without any resounding decision being taken "| Also, he recriminates the mayor who "has not been able either as a counselor or as the head of the City Council to improve the management of buses somewhat.
Murcians are giving him too many opportunities.
Enough of that chronic neglect because of what is truly worrying" The Municipal Socialist Group has shown this morning its support to the workers of LAT, the concession company in charge of managing the bus lines in districts, who have concentrated at the door of the City Hall and will go on strike on October 15 because The frequencies have not been recovered and, therefore, the ERTE remains in force. The situation of workers has a negative impact on the already poor quality of the public transport service, whose users stay at stops for hours without being able to reach their destination, be it work, school, doctor or return to their homes.
"This is a nonsense of capital proportions, the workers complain and the users complain, while the rest of the neighbors prefer to take the car and the Ballesta team remains impassive, like someone who hears it rain," says the spokesman for the Municipal Socialist Group, José Antonio Serrano. "The public transport situation is not from yesterday or it is because of the pandemic, it is a chaotic, precarious and irreversible situation, especially since the mayor and his team continue, month after month and year after year waiting for better times hidden after the flowers, "says the spokesman, who adds that" we do not understand how it is possible that an essential and necessary public service for so many residents of this municipality is in these deplorable conditions without any resounding decision being made.
" For this reason, Serrano calls on Ballesta to separate the Councilor for Sustainable Mobility from public transport, "let's see if we can thus have buses that provide service and not only adapt to existing demand but also generate trust in other Murcians in order to to abandon the use of the private car.
We must avoid at all costs that this service agonizes before the impotence, frustration and indignation of all those people who need it irremediably ". The socialist spokesman points out that "we must not forget the fact that not having a public transport in conditions, sufficient and adequate is to the detriment of each and every one of the residents of Murcia, because having no alternative but to take the private car, the atmosphere is filled with pollution and our streets and highways with noise and traffic jams ". Serrano insists that "it is urgent to put in charge of public transport in the municipality trained, solvent and willing people to make courageous decisions, while we act as stone guests, as if all this were not with us, we will not make Murcia the municipality advanced and modern we want.
" Finally, he reproaches the mayor who "has not been able either as a councilor or as the head of the City Council to improve the management of buses in something, discriminating time and again those who live in districts.
Too many opportunities are being given by Murcians.
Enough already of that chronic apathy for what is truly worrying ".
