The local group policy EQUO erratic Murcia regrets applying the Department of Traffic and Transportation of the City of Murcia in public transport.

This council, according to environmental education, using improvisation as general operation mode, limiting their proposals to a "greenwash", but not responding to the challenges and no real solutions to the serious problem of traffic suffers Township Murcia.

The demands of the districts to increase the frequency of passage of buses and to revoke the so-called "rate hikes" do not fall within the priorities of this council, residents receiving no answer to their demands.

As for actions related to the promotion of the bicycle are not being implemented the measures specified in the Bicycle Master Plan has not responded to the claims of citizens and associations, merely exposing vague promises.

Murcia EQUO considers it a paradox that, compared to the chaos that reigns in the policy of the Department of Traffic and Transportation, personified by Councilman Iniesta, with multiple citizen protests, starring as the Platform Pro-Burying or Citizens Platform by public transport, the mayor Chamber is invited to participate in the 'Cities and Climate Change Summit' held in Bogotá, which claims to have promoted the use of bicycles and modernized and improved public transport.

The image projected by the mayor outside contrasts with the reality of a situation is clearly unsatisfactory public transport management of the municipality.

At no time has the Department of Traffic aimed at reducing private motor traffic, currently the modal split is assigned 50% between motorized traffic and non-motorized, when the EU recommended that motorized traffic in cities not than 30% of the total.

In addition, the council again breach its commitments, as in the "Local Strategy on climate change in the municipality of Murcia 2008-2012" pledged to increase bus lines in that period of time, while the reality has been a reduction in the number of lines and the frequency of the buses pass, seasoned with unilateral rising rates, with users the real victims in this topic.

Equo is a social and political movement whose pillars ecology, social equity, the defense of Human Rights and Democracy.
