The regional deputy, Teresa Rosique, has tabled an amendment to the regional budgets for 2011, which calls for ending discrimination in the price of bus fare against the citizens of the villages of Murcia regarding the village.
Rosique considers the establishment of a uniform tariff should help end this wrong and not to increase it, as has happened.
In districts such as El Palmar, Sangonera La Verde, Javalí Viejo or La Ñora, setting the flat rate has been a remarkable increase in the ticket round of 40 to 50 cents.
The next week will start on the Regional Assembly debate and approval of the amendments tabled by the parliamentary groups to regional budgets in 2011.
Among the amendments tabled by the Socialist parliamentary group is calling for the establishment of a single bus ticket for the whole municipality of Murcia, in order to end discrimination against the citizens of the parishes in respect of the village.
Equal treatment
"From the Socialist Parliamentary Group considers that the Ministry of Public Works and Planning, through the Public Transport Authority, should ensure equal treatment of all citizens of the municipality of Murcia, reside where they reside." We therefore hope the support of other parliamentary groups, especially the PP, being a majority in the House to pass this amendment, "said the deputy.
Teresa Rosique expressed deep regret of his parliamentary group regarding the establishment of the flat rate last Friday in the town of Murcia "strengthen further the discrimination they suffer more than 60,000 Murcia."
