The Municipal Socialist Group has asked the Government team to review the contract of the bicycle rental service in order to solve all the deficiencies and deficiencies that it presents and that "make the service for the interested neighbors unreliable and scarcely useful", according to explains the councilman Enrique Ayuso.
Precisely warns that currently the rental system is in a situation "very unsatisfactory for the user who either does not find bicycles in the parking stations, or suffers from any of the failures in the computer system or choose a bicycle with defects in the brakes, handlebar or steering, which may involve some sinister.
In addition, he points out that benches have been suppressed without being replaced by new ones in the areas of Atalayas, Santiago el Mayor, San Juan de la Cruz or La Fama and the stations have not been extended to the districts.
Therefore, "under these circumstances the service leaves much to be desired so the City of Murcia must take measures urgently to solve all the shortcomings, and it would be more profitable to take a more active role than assumed at this time , consistent only in the transfer of the floor in which benches are installed and authorizations to facilitate the insertion of advertising, "says Ayuso, who believes that with the review of the contract" we could make good progress in improving the service. "
The councilman remembers that the municipality of Murcia brings together topographic, extension and climatic characteristics that make it suitable for the use of the bicycle as an alternative transport to the private car.
"In these conditions, Murcia could be the challenge of leading in our country the use of this form of non-polluting displacement and contributing to the improvement of health and coexistence, however, the PP is satisfied with a service of 600 bicycles for almost half a million citizens. "
