The IU-Greens councilor in the city of Murcia, José Ignacio Tornel, has today criticized the "lack of transparency and respect," the mayor of Traffic and Transportation, Javier Iniesta, remodeling the new urban transport plan, which has described as "unacceptable".
According Tornel, "once again local groups are aware of significant changes in the urban public transport service through the press, in a clear style of political scorn the other members of the council."
He assured that "this way of working makes Iniesta solely responsible for the ongoing corrections in this service, which led to the loss of thousands of users since last September and which supports the daily barrage of complaints about its mismanagement ".
But the worst, according to the IU-Green councilor, is "the absence of a plan that articulates an organized and efficient citizen participation in the development of the routes" so that this modification was created from input from neighbors and the margins of the quality of transport, which shows well be a "mere advertising and useless body."
The left formation has also questioned the usefulness of these changes that "more like the result of a constant exercise of improvisation", shortly start the service.
"It is impossible to secure a stable group of users in a context of sudden changes. Citizens need a few frequencies paths and settled into the daily routine to feel safe to use this service."
Also surprising, in view of the local group, the swing in the economic situation of the service, he suffered a threatened layoff record month of starting the service at the low end passenger volume for expanding lines without that deficit has resolved.
Tornel has criticized the fact that at the meeting held today with the Councillor for Transport to explain the remodeling of the service has not been presented a study or statistical plan, nor results obtained so far to substantiate the efficiency of the new lines and remodeling of current.
They remain, however, "far reported deficiencies, such as lack of direct connection between the east and west of the city or the fact that a single line communicates the southern suburbs, beyond the railway track."
For the mayor of IU-Greens, "the amazing thing is that all this remodeling is to make the budget without raising its council intended to transport of Murcia, service concessionaire".
"The zero cost and demagoguery was evident with the 10 million annual cost us 17 kilometers of tram or spending Murcia Airport, located in our town, yet to be discovered in its entirety."
In conclusion, "Iniesta is locked in its difficulty to work together with those who are not of his rope, just as when the hen will jelly, sacrificing public investment at any cost. Meanwhile, the transportation budget is perhaps the most inefficient starting Hall and plunders the family economy service with little utility. "
