The combination of cycling and promote internal mobility tram efficient, fast, effective, accessible and environmentally
Encourage the use of the bicycle and tram.
This is the purpose for which the City has installed a total of 50 bicycle parking in 16 of the 24 stops of the new tram line 1.
They can park a hundred bikes.
The U-type bicycle parking are also called "cradle".
They consist of a galvanized steel bar inverted U-shape and fixed to the ground.
Allowed to park a bicycle on each side of the bar, so that one bicycle parking can park two bicycles.
With them, the bike can be unlocked at various points (rear wheel, frame, seat and rear wheel) and are safer.
The intention is that users can switch and complement the tram with the bike.
The new system of light rail transportation, 18 kilometers long, is designed to provide unobstructed passage for bicycles, wheelchairs or pushchairs.
This feature, combined with ambitious of the Bicycle Master Plan being implemented by the Consistory, Murcia makes an ideal city to launch the "Intermodal Bike-Tram".
And is that according to the European Union, the combination of bicycle and train is the way to more sustainable urban transport for short and long distances.
The Rules of the Streetcar Commuter regulates the use of bicycles inside the vehicle.
These are basic rules that make it easy for users to transport their bikes in a comfortable and orderly.
To do this, we ask that bicycle access is via double doors.
In addition, the user should always keep your bike in order to not disturb other passengers.
The City Council has invested heavily in sustainable mobility through the implementation of the tram and bicycle, with its perfect combination, will improve the movement of citizens of the Municipality in a friendly environment.
In addition to these bicycle parking, the Department of Environment, through the Municipal Office of the Bicycle, has recently launched a total of nine fully enclosed parking for bicycles.
It aims to create a secure bicycle parking, as well as provides a parking space for bicycles public rental system in the form of long duration.
Situated in gardens and pedestrian areas near intermodal passenger transportation (university, park and ride, bus and train stations, tram stops, etc. ..), the enclosed bicycle parking is accessed via a magnetic key associated with a computer system access control.
Each of these parks has in its interior, with supports to hold up to 20 bikes with a padlock, and an access control system to ensure their safety.
The enclosed bicycle parking have been designed as a complement to the public system of rental bikes, so allow even those who have nowhere to leave the bicycle at home, or living on the outskirts of the city and want to use it for their daily commute by the center can do so under the same conditions as those who do have this possibility.
The bicycle parking can also be used by private bicycle ever before have been registered and tagged.
