Romera assures that the urban transport of Lorca continues in the same situation of paralysis and low occupation that before starting the new concession, fruit of an improvisation that grants to this service a continuous provisionality that harms the users.
From the PSOE indicates that the responsibility would have been to open the participation processes before the preparation of the new specifications and to enable all the infrastructures in order to start the new concession and not the other way around.
The councilor of the PSOE David Romera, has described as "teasing" that the PP wants to start a process of citizen participation to improve urban transport in Lorca after the new specifications are approved and the new service by the new concessionaire.
The mayor says that the PP comes "late and bad" because "it is logical that these processes of citizen participation had been developed before drafting the specifications, to adapt their objectives and strategies to the real needs of the local population, and not after, "which clearly demonstrates" the improvisation that the PP Government team has had in a matter so important for the good functioning of our city as the modernization, promotion and promotion of urban bus transportation. "
He also recalls that time "has been more than enough because of a poor management in the processing of the file to award the new concession, Lorca had to suffer the delay of one year for the renewal of a third world urban transport that today remains in the same terms".
Romera believes that the PP "fails once again in this sense because the procedure followed is not logical, nor is it the right nor is it aimed at sensitizing the population to leave the car at home and use public transport."
The socialist mayor returns to make an x-ray of the situation of the urban transport and verifies that the service is "in the same situation of paralysis and low occupancy" that a few months ago, that is to say, that in spite of the new concession, everything follows equal, something that has already been denounced on several occasions since the PSOE.
Romera says that "new lines have been put in place and there are still empty buses circulating every day, where no one knows where they are going, where they stop or at what time, chaos resulting from mismanagement, neglect, improvisation and the provisionality given to this service by the PP ".
The councilman added that it still lacks the habilitation and signaling of new stops, the installation of new canopies, a general plan with the layout of the lines, connections and any complementary information to the users in the stops and interior of the vehicles as well as a public address service that reports stops to travelers;
the electronic information panels on waiting times, the BIDI system for mobile phones, the 15-minute waiting times on Line 1 (Apolonia-General Hospital Rafael Méndez) and a fleet of state-of-the-art buses .
The socialist councilor asks why all the infrastructures necessary to launch the new concession have not been enabled in recent months, accompanied by a campaign of information and promotion to the local population?
Why did not the citizen participation process take place in the moment in time for the drafting of the new specifications and now, late and bad?
From the Socialist Municipal Group, what is asked of the PP Government team is that "assume their mistakes and give a turn to their model so that Lorca has an urban transport that is up to his needs and does not contravene the predicted in the Urban Mobility Plan ", so that it is a modern, comfortable, functional and attractive service for Lorca to take back the bus, leave the car at home and develop a more balanced and sustainable city model.
For this, the socialists are going to return to the responsible councilman, Mr. Pelegrín, his proposals regarding the urban bus model to be implemented in the municipality.
