New bonds will be established to prioritize those who most use the bus, in addition to expanding lines and schedules with Tercia, Marchena, Rio and Cazalla.
The Lorca will have a better service and save 120,000 euros per year.
The councilman of Transports in the City council of Lorca, Francisco Javier Pelegrín, has informed that it continues advancing the required procedure so that the Municipal Consistory culminates with the process of assumption of the service of urban transport, once decided the recovery of the same one.
The last plenary session of the Consistory definitively approved the direct management model that the Government Team has proposed with the objective that Lorca have a service according to the needs of our city, taking into account that the companies that At the moment they have been providing this service through a concession, they have not covered the expectations and obligations of the specifications.
Pelegrín Poveda explained that the option that has been working on behalf of this council is to start the urban transport service fully municipal, through a direct commission to Limusa.
We are talking about a measure that includes the maintenance of the jobs of all workers who are currently developing their work for the provision of the service.
The integration of this service in Limusa would entail a statutory modification of the municipal company.
It is the easiest, most effective and practical way for our city to get the infrastructure it needs.
To this end, an analysis has been prepared that includes the revenue and expenditure figures, taking into account the annual kilometers traveled by the bus fleet of the different lines established, amounting to 306,000, while almost 22,000 hours of work are provided by the of the service professionals.
The mayor of Transport has anticipated that once the Plenary has ratified this management model, the next step is to send the documentation and the management model to the CARM with the aim of being supervised and approved.
In parallel, the procedure to hire the fleet of 7 buses that will be used to provide the service provisionally by the City Council will begin immediately.
The amount of fees and bonuses will remain the same, although new discounts will be created, as will be the case of the Full Monthly Bonus for the line that links to the Saprelorca Industrial Estate, which allows the bus to be used throughout the month at any time and without travel limit for 45 euros, while for only 30 euros per month will allow unlimited use of travel and schedules in the rest of the lines (Campillo, Apolonia, Hospital, Shopping Center, Santa Gertrudis, castle and historic center, Rio, Marchena and Tercia, as well as Cazalla).
The provision of urban transport by the City would entail an additional improvement, such as the extension of this service from Monday to Friday to the districts of Tercia, Marchena, Rio and Cazalla.
It is expected, in this way, to keep rates 10, 30 and 50 in force, as well as special bonuses for students and users of base sports.
Two new bonuses are established, the Special Large Family and the Unemployed, with the same advantages as those indicated and maintaining 40 trips for 10 euros, while people over 65 years old will continue to travel for free, as well as people with a degree of disability greater than 65%.
The objective of the Municipal Executive is to complete as soon as possible the dense bureaucratic-administrative process marked by the regulations, so that the recovery of this service is reflected in an improvement for all its users. The forecast has been specified by of the municipal technicians is that this service is optimized, so that Lorca will save almost 120,000 euros annually compared to what had been costing this service historically, also contemplating the progressive renovation of urban furniture elements (canopies and muppies ), under the new advertising sheet on urban elements that will be convened shortly.
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.
