The Minister of Public Works and Planning, José Ballesta, and the rector of the University of Murcia (UMU), José Antonio Cobacho, today signed an agreement whereby the Public Transport Authority and the university collaborate to promote development of solutions related to information technology and electronic management and its application to public transport.

Under the new agreement, both institutions should carry out activities related to Information Technology and Communication (ICT) and, in particular, technological projects applicable to public transport by road to improve the information given to users within policy to promote public transport that drives the regional government.

The public may obtain complete information and updated schedules, frequencies, routes, stops and fares for public transport services.

This will meet some of the objectives of the Public Transport Authority, an agency of the Community which was recently built the city of Murcia, as are to improve and streamline customer service for these services and further develop policy to increase the quality.

Transport to university

The result of this collaboration between the Ministry and the UMU, through its Area of Information Technologies and Communications Applied (ATIC) has been developed, among other improvements, a software application for the web of the Public Transport, with a modern content management system based on free software.

Through this new page will be able to obtain information about the activities undertaken by the EPT and the services offered to the university community, for example, UNIBON, in the management of information have also helped the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and Catholic University, which has ensured that your application is completely data transmission, so users can order from your own home, reducing travel and the necessary steps to obtain it.

This opens the possibility of extending the idea of UNIBON to other groups in the region, such as pensioners, young or elementary or high school students, and citizens in general.

For this, the Public Transport Authority and the UMU have begun working on the possibility of creating payment terminals where you only need to submit an electronic identification, or even the acquisition of new bonds electronically.

In this sense, the intention is to create in the manner of the big cities like Madrid or Barcelona, a single ticket that will solve the problem of travel in the center of the city or between cities where it is not possible to resolve shifts once without making a transfer.
