We need ordinary sized buses and others of special dimensions to circulate through narrow streets that can facilitate traffic and speed.
Bayonas López explained that for the drafting of this sheet meetings have been held with multiple groups, entities and associations in order to agree on new lines and schedules, adjusting the service to the demand of citizens.
It should be emphasized that all vehicles of the new concessionaire of the service will be new, having a moratorium of 6 months in which they will have others whose age is less than 6 years.
Regarding the criticism expressed by the PSOE, the Government Team is grateful for their interest in contributing ideas to help correct the "lamentable" urban transport that the party held in our city, a mistake that this Local Administration is now correcting.
It should be added that the contributions of the PSOE were valued by the municipal technicians and the writers of the Mobility Plan (PMUS) and this although they moved when almost all the work was done.
