The Municipal Socialist Group spokesman, Peter Lopez, said today after learning the results of the first year of the tram with a total of 3 million travelers this figure is far from the forecasts presented by the City Council.

This indicates that the feasibility studies for the first year predicted 8.5 million users, so asking the city government not take the rooftops to the realization that this huge project is not being profitable.

Lopez reminds travelers that the forecast provided in the feasibility studies spoke of 707,500 monthly users in its first year and if the best data so far are the 325,000 travelers in March this year, it is clear that the forecasts do not reach even 50 %. "

The PSOE mayor states that do not think the tram is a bad option as a means of transport but it is clear that poorly designed and that mistake we will be paying at a rate of more than 830,000 euros a month for 40 years.

In addition, Pedro Lopez insists that the shuttle goes to Catholic University recorded a very low passenger occupancy we are going to apply again to provide us with official data on Line 1 stop by stop.

"They seem to have to wear it at night because of what he sees every citizen and what have the neighbors of Guadalupe, the feeling is that this branch is half empty," said Lopez.

Finally, the Socialist spokesman notes that ask them to renegotiate downward the subsidy of 830,000 euros per month raising the possibility of removing the shuttle to the UCAM until it expands to La Nora, Javalí Old, New and Sewer Javalí.
