They reproach the PP that because they do not want to attend to the proposals of improvement like those proposed by the PSOE at the time, the result has been a project of transport service "very unattractive" since there have been only two companies that have finally opted to The award of the new concession
Diego José Mateos has lamented the "lost year" due to the "incompetence" of the PP government team, who for an administrative error caused "a year more problems and waiting" for workers and users of public transport in Lorca.
Therefore, he insists that as they have been doing, the Socialists will remain "vigilant and very attentive" so that Lorca does not again lose the opportunity to have an improved transport, according to the needs that citizens pose and very different from the " Third world service "that has caused so many problems for Lorca.
Nevertheless, Mateos has reproached to the equipment of government of the PP that did not take advantage of this "lost year" to give participation to groups and political groups and to take care of proposals of improvement like those proposed by the PSOE at the time.
In fact, he says that because of this poor planning, the result was a "very unattractive" transportation service project, since only two companies have finally chosen the new concession.
After analyzing the specifications, David Romera said that the pretensions of the new service are "very disappointing" because the urban transport model that the PP wants for Lorca "brings nothing new, is continuous, inconsistent in some aspects and nothing Competitive and attractive ".
In this sense, the Edil regrets that "none of the proposals made by the PSOE to improve the urban transport service in Lorca" has been taken into account.
Romera said that the technical specification proposes a model "anachronistic and with many loose fringes that are due to poor planning in terms of the layout of lines, rolling stock and frequencies", so that "it will hardly be an efficient and attractive service for Lorca And the situation of urban transport will again be that of the current stagnation. "
The socialist councilor has listed some features of the new service.
There are 11 lines, which will be covered by only five vehicles, three medium-sized buses of 10.5 meters and two microbuses.
"If four lines of vehicles are now serviced for 3 lines, how will 11 lines with five be serviced? This will mean a very low frequency level, excessively long waiting times and an overload in the operation of the vehicles leaving To translate into breakdowns and breakdowns ".
He regrets that the main line of the city, the most used (Apolonia-General Hospital Rafael Mendez) "will continue to maintain a frequency of 30 minutes when the ideal to make it competitive would be frequencies every 15 minutes, especially at rush hour."
In addition, it is indicated that the new buses "can have a seniority of up to 6 years and 12 years of reserve", reason that in a short time, ensures "will be obsolete".
David Romera also criticized special rates for workers in the Saprelorca polygon "and not for those working in the Serrata polygon, taking advantage of the fact that a new line will run through the area."
Nor does it "make sense" that the only two information screens on the arrival times of the buses are placed at the start stops of the main lines (Parque Almenara and Hospital Rafael Méndez), where the departure times are exact, but That such information screens should be, and in greater number, in the stops of the interior of the city.
Regarding the layout of the lines, he regrets that "Pérez Casas and Nogalte street do not join the main line", that there are numerous round trip itineraries that overlap as they run along the same streets and not by alternative areas, and that All the lines that go to the nearby councils, finish in the Oval of Santa Paula what it will generate, ensures "continuous transfers to the users to, once there, to go to other places of the city, without having direct connection With the commercial and administrative center ".
On the other hand, the PP "forgets the connection of the remote neighborhoods like Los Angeles or La Viña with the new equipment area of ​​Sutullena, where are the Primary Care Emergencies, Police Station or Mental Health Hospital" and none Line passes next to the train stations and buses, reason why does not produce intermodality.
In addition, "an urban line is not contemplated until the important urban center of La Hoya that counts on more than 3,600 neighbors, and the Higher districts are again taken off this essential service for a correct vertebración of the territory".
For Romera "the pretensions of the new service generate many doubts and the scarcity of material means with which to attend the planned line system will provoke that the main defects that the present urban transport has (breach of schedules, low frequencies, lack of information, levels Of low occupancy) will be produced in the long run, and a new opportunity to build a more livable city will be lost. Consequently, we believe that Lorca deserves a better urban transport model, with modern facilities and canopies at all stops, both downtown As of the periphery ".
