Faced with criticism by the Socialist Municipal Group this morning which indicated the service deficit of Line 5 that connects Murcia with Algezares (which is the responsibility of the Autonomous Community), the Department of Transport has found that three of the six vehicles used to cover this trip are 16 years and exceeded the Vehicle inspection last December.
The rest have exceeded one year and in October 2008.
In addition, all buses on this line have heating, air conditioning, non-contact electronic banking system, control system, GPS ...
In the expedition referred to Municipal Socialist Group have traveled 64 people when the bus has room for 93, of which 63 are seated and the other foot.
Likewise, on the service suspension reinforcement was made due to low demand from users, since the average weekly passenger line from The Leak is 31 people, from schools is 11 and from San Jose Vega is 75.
A booster bus when a line gets completely overwhelmed is something that happens on Line 5.
On the claims that are the most expensive rates, Castillo said that "this is a totally false statement. I invite the PSOE to provide data on which you base this claim."
"With the integration into the Public Transport Authority is to improve the whole system of all lines"
