The taking into consideration by the Plenary of the City Council of the social, legal, technical and financial memory for this purpose constitutes a new and decided step forward in the process opened by the Municipal Executive to improve this service.
The Councilman of Transports in the City council of Lorca, Francisco Javier Pelegrín, has informed that the Municipal Consistory continues advancing in the proceedings that legally demand him to be able to assume of direct form the management of the service of urban transport, once it was decided to proceed to rescind the concession after the repeated defaults of the concessionaire company.
The objective of the Municipal Executive is to complete as soon as possible the dense bureaucratic-administrative process marked by the regulations, in such a way that the recovery of this service is reflected in an improvement for all its users.
Francisco Javier Pelegrín explained that in the ordinary session of the Full City Hall for the month of July, which is held this morning, will proceed to take consideration of the report on the direct provision of urban passenger transport service.
It is a document prepared by officials from different municipal areas that includes a broad description of the legal aspects and rules that affect this, along with the corresponding proposal on the regulation of the service and the financial, social and technical analysis.
It will be the City Council that assumes the service, in any of the possibilities collected and protected by the Law, foreseeing to make this decision effective before the end of the year.
The Transportation Deputy has indicated that, according to the forecasts included in this document, it is proposed that the City provide this service directly, proceeding to the acquisition of 5 new buses (3 of 12 meters and 2 microbuses), an investment that is around one million euros, in addition, to proceed with the installation of 2 external information panels and proceed to provide these vehicles with the internal information system, as well as the start-up of a new information model for users through of an APP and web page.
Francisco Javier Pelegrín has indicated that the aforementioned document includes the establishment of 11 lines, which will be Apolonia / Hospital, Apolonia / Almenara, Santa Paula Oval / Campillo, Oval / Santa Quiteria, Oval / Historic Center / Castle, Oval / Marchena7Tercia, Oval / River, Oval / Cazalla and Oval / Saprelorca Industrial Estate.
The Councilman has anticipated that it proposes the establishment of a new series of discounts with the aim of lowering the price of the trip, rewarding the most frequent users, all this while keeping the amount of the free movement frozen.
It is foreseen, in this way, to keep in effect tariffs 10, 30 and 50, as well as special bonuses for students and users of base sports, monthly bonuses, special rates for workers of the industrial estate, as well as for large and unemployed families.
The free service will be maintained for elderly and disabled people, responding to the order transferred to the effect by the Mayor, Fulgencio Gil, prioritizing the care of these people under a principle of responsibility and social commitment.
It will be the City Council itself that assumes the expense that this entails.
