The Councilor for the United Left-Greens in Lorca, Gloria Martín, has denounced that the technical prescriptions for the bidding process of the urban bus concession in Lorca "clamorously marginalizes" the residents of the Highlands, Districts of the south and of the coast, that will continue without this service despite the electoral promises of the PP.
According to the mayor, the existing public transport lines for the deputies of Campillo, Marchena, Río and Cazalla are contemplated and only a new one for the district of Tercia is incorporated, consuming a "flagrant non-compliance" of its electoral program and Discriminating thousands of neighbors whose needs are "systematically ignored" by the PP.
The mayor also asked for explanations about the PP municipal government team intend to apply a surcharge to the urban bus ticket in the Los Peñones industrial estate line (1.36 euros plus VAT) on the price established in the general rate (1,18 euros plus VAT).
Martín has asked about the meaning of "punishing" workers and workers who will use public transport to move to their work center and why the City Council has given up implementing this service in the polygons of Saprelorca and La Hoya, such And as promised.
On the other hand, Martín has warned that the city council has established the useful life of the vehicles in 15 years, "putting the interest of the private company ahead" to amortize its purchase to the update of the fleet, "as if they had not learned None of the serious security problems that in recent years have affected users and drivers by the use of old buses in deplorable state.
The Councilor of IU-Greens also regretted that the consistory did not require vehicles to be incorporated into the fleet are ecological, that is, they use alternative energy such as hydrogen or compressed natural gas to reduce the emission of pollutants.
A terrible example in a city that, he recalled, "holds the record of ozone pollution throughout Europe."
Gloria Martín has criticized that the PP opts for a new privatization of public transport and for a model that is far from being "fair, comfortable, agile, cheap and effective" for citizens and whose design "has not given voice to The municipal opposition ".
The councilor of IU-Greens recalled the declarations of Transport Councilor Juan Miguel Bayonas, which boasted that in the months in which the city council has taken over the management of urban buses, the number of users has increased by 12 % And has proved viable from the economic point of view.
In that sense, Martín has lamented the "lack of courage" of the municipal government team of the PP that prefers "to lose the direct management of an important public service by means of a concession that carries a risk of breach of the agreed conditions and deterioration and precariousness both Of the service itself and of the working conditions of the workers ".
