The Municipal Socialist Group asks the PP to claim the Autonomous Community the management of bus lines in districts, which will allow them to match prices on the ticket, which at present are different depending on the routes, concession companies and Of the administrations involved.

With this objective, socialist councilor Juan Vicente Larrosa is going to present a motion to the next municipal plenary, since he considers that "this diversity in prices, management and financing ends up hurting the user, apart from the disorder and uncontrol that occurs when to direct a Only service involving two administrations and different companies ".

For this reason, the council again demands "a unitary management, which could be established from the Transport Bureau".

At the moment, the fourteen lines of transport that cover the routes between the districts and Murcia, are financed by the Autonomous Community "although it happens that the lines 30 and 78 had to be extended and the City was the one that loaded with the costs to the Contribute 450,000 euros, while the Autonomous Community only put 60,000 euros, "said the councilman, who states that" it is inconsistent that the municipal government assume this funding when the management of these lines corresponds to the regional administration. "

Precisely, "to avoid similar situations, it is best to have a single manager of the municipal bus lines and that this comes from the City Council, which is the nearest administration to the citizen, where complaints and complaints arrive and the first to have evidence Of the needs of the service, "says Larrosa, who adds that the current management prevents an agile resolution of deficiencies in transportation.

The Socialist mayor recalls that the first meeting of the Transport Committee will be held in February and that "our first initiatives will be the restructuring of Line 61, linking Aljucer, San Ginés and El Palmar, and the extension of Lightning 14, to give Service to the neighbors of Futuro Youth and the Path of Granada, as it was approved in the last Plenum of the City council.
