The spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, has said the combined bus pass for bus and tram was launched today "will have a minimal impact on citizen mobility, as they have failed to address global solutions the entire municipality and its metropolitan area. "
To Herguedas, "discount is being presented as it actually is a penalty, and that those responsible for transport have not even been able to take a single criterion for transfers between the two companies that depend on the hall".
"It makes no sense that you can transfer between buses by 0.70 and penalize the transfer between bus and tram payment of 0.55 euros," she added.
In his opinion, "the city of Murcia continues to operate in transport like an island and thus demonstrates its inability to establish agreements with other authorities to address a comprehensive, metropolitan and intermodal to the issue of public transport."
For the mayor, the main problem of transportation is still connecting the districts with the city, and "in this area are still suffering the consequences of reduced service and the disappearance of some, the price increase and no bonus combined with another dealership without contribution no solution ".
"It is absolutely incomprehensible to Murcia, the seventh district of Spain, has many pending on mobility and continue to bond light years transportation, general flat rate which should allow the user card holders to use, without limitation , of all metropolitan transportation ".
He also claims that "if one of the indicators of development of a country is determined by the performance and ease of access of citizens to public transport, there is no doubt that the situation can be described Murcia total delay and in this sense, we seem to be to get breast with patches like the bonobos presented today, which can only be described as the comfort of the ruling unable to offer solutions to their fellow citizens "
