The managing director of the Association of Public Transport, Jose Guillen, said that "the university of the region, who have performed more than 215,000 applications UNIBON can enjoy one of the most beneficial rates among all cities that offer a service like the university, so that the work performed by the regional administration and the city of Murcia aimed at promoting quality public transport are showing excellent results.
