The municipal People's Party group in the city of Murcia has proposed to the House, which passed with the votes of the PP, which ratifies the citizen participation process initiated by the City of Murcia for the development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and Improvement Plan Public Transportation, with the deep conviction that social participation is essential for the implementation of any measure of improvement in an event as momentous social mobility and urban transport, as demonstrated by the recent process the director of the Bicycle Plan.

Municipal plenary and supports the process of establishment of the Bureau of Transportation and Participation Committees and Technical Committee in developing the Plan MOVE and Transportation Improvement Plan.

PP considers that the development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan is a technical instrument to promote a shift towards urban public transport, maintaining the current share of non-mechanized modes (pedestrian and bike) to the clear detriment of private car use benefit the quality of life and the environment, and promoting public transport strategies in Murcia with its central structuring the implementation of a tram line to serve the significant increase in the number of travel and everyday users of public transport.

The PP has also proposed that the ratification of Full Council on the need for workers in the public transport service receive their salaries as established legal and consensual.

The plenary session will urge the Prime Minister's Office to take decisive and firm finance at least 30% of investment in infrastructure works and public transport of passengers who meet criteria for environmental improvement and help reduce pollution such as tram or electric or gas transport.

In response to the motion of the PSOE on tariff unification, Councillor for Transport, Antonio Castillo, replied that the Socialist councilor speaks Abellán Public Transport Authority as alien to the City "come to amend the flat, hiding the fact that the City Council part, not less, of the entity and that is the context in which more than a year has been working in the articulation of a significant change in sustainable urban mobility, giving priority to public transport compared to private vehicles .

Well explained in the General Affairs Committee in December 2009 and, as explained Castillo has since enacted by the PSOE are totally irresponsible and demagogic motions, where any "loose cannon" is valid for a pretend pretend their leading role in urban transport policy, but stubborn to recognize that all actions that require funding and urban transport in Murcia, and in general of all Spanish cities, what is missing is the financing of state as expressed in the motion adopted by the plenary municipal February 2010.

Not change the urban mobility, or government concessions, or paths or rates so disjointed, arbitrary, non-prioritized, or articulated nor justified.

The City Council, even though it Mr. Abell, will continue working on the score line and will publish its proposals and conclusions when they are perfectly viable from all variables: technical, social, economic and environmentally, added Councilman Transportation.

And we will keep doing in the context of cooperation with the Regional Administration, specifically with the Public Transport Authority, so that we will not engage in speculation of what the charging system or how the reorganization will be lines or funding until we present a coherent and justified.

In any case, we must make clear that municipal competition lines and the rate is simplified to one euro.

What is shocking is that critique without the possibility of imposition of tariff crowns when in all metropolitan areas are already differentiated.

An example is the City Council of Barcelona and its metropolitan area, under the socialist command since 1979 and has not two but three sectors tariff for land area three times lower than that of the municipality of Murcia and although its population density is ten times higher than ours.

Deceive anybody nor Mr Abellán request that you "take the heart of EFA" tariff simplification initiative when they know perfectly well clear during the Latbus workers' strike-rate that simplification is is working together, how could it be otherwise.
