| The socialist spokesman also states that "as the mayor does not need the bus to make his transfers, not even as a setting for a good video plant some flowers because he is not interested in the least "| New complaints from users about the frequencies and cost of the bus, travelers who stay on the ground at stops and a bus station that the concessionaire Latbus has renounced due to the abusive rates they are trying to apply.

"This is the photograph, very synthesized, of today on public transport in the municipality, a photo that does not improve but worsens day after day without us seeing a single gesture by the Ballesta team that, as they do not need the bus to make their transfers not even as a setting for a good video or to plant some flowers because they are not interested in the slightest, "says the spokesman for the Municipal Socialist Group, José Antonio Serrano. Moreover, he points out, "it seems intentional, as if the mayor's sole purpose was to gradually kill public transport, thus leaving thousands of users with no alternative.

He warns that "since last October 5 the district buses (the yellow ones) do not enter the bus station, which represents more obstacles to public transport users, so we will not be able to get out of the damaging loop to which We are led by this municipal government team, according to which the residents of Murcia prefer as a first option, when they have it, to take a private car to make their transfers and thus avoid the bus ". On this, Serrano explains that, "after our complaint on September 18, the councilor responsible for Mobility, Rebeca Pérez, said that she had requested reports on the consequences of Latbus not stopping at the bus station," where are those reports? Have you met with the Director General of Transport? What solution have we given to users? And to top it off, it doesn't even call the Transport Table where we can discuss possible solutions and make decisions, which are already late.

" Meanwhile, "neighbors continue to suffer the consequences of this disastrous transport and there is no hope.

Users know it and that is why they feel so helpless and frustrated, we have checked this morning at the stops where they have told us that there are people who give up jobs due to the bad combination and the price of the bus, especially in districts.

I am convinced that this situation is a flagrant lack of interest by users, who are discriminated against and cornered without scruples " . To this, "we must also add that the travelers themselves inform us that the payment in the yellow buses, which are those of districts, are more expensive with the purse card than in cash, which means a transfer of coins that helps to the spread of Covid ". Serrano declares that "in order to round off the vicious circle in which this public service has become, within a few days a strike is called by the Latbus workers, so if it is now chaos, we cannot even imagine what going to turn those days.
