PSOE spokesman in the city of Murcia, Pedro Lopez, asked the Transportation Department not to allow a further increase in the price of tickets districts, because that would exacerbate the differences with the neighbors of the center since they pay 35 cents more expensive public bus ticket
The Municipal Socialist Group spokesperson, Pedro Lopez, requires the City Council does not consent to a further rise in rates for the lines connecting Murcia with the districts and oppose the order issued by the Public Transport Authority to increase by 8% the ticket price on all trunk lines.
So far, says Lopez, "users of districts have to pay € 1.35 per trip and an increase as provided by the Department of Public Works it in about ten cents more expensive, what would delve into the discrimination suffered by residents of the districts regarding living in the center as the urban lines ticket worth one euro ".
To prevent this gap gets larger, the spokesman of the PSOE has conducted an internal communication councilor for Transport, asking not to increase the price in the trunk lines since the current cost is already expensive enough and also the service is totally ineffective , with short hours and very low frequencies, which causes the private car is the most used means of transport.
Finally, Pedro Lopez recalls that in future the differences in public transport offered to the citizens of parishes could worsen as the new service concessions urban routes it intends to award the City Council, residents of districts could stay bond was only possible to harmonize the bus and tram.
For the PSOE councilor, "the solution is a single ticket that allows the user to combine all modes of transport without paying more depending on where you live."
