Murcia celebrates World Car-Free Day with surprise concerts and tips to improve mobility | Radio Murcia | Present

This morning, between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., different itinerant surprise concerts have been held that have enlivened the wait for users of the bus stops in Murcia. The concerts, of different styles such as classical, flamenco, and acoustic pop, have delighted the passengers.

The mobile unit of Hoy por hoy Murcia has captured the moment in which the Oh Brother group surprised the people who were waiting for the arrival of the bus at the Santa Isabel stop.

On the other hand, in the tram wagons from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., INACUA monitors have given advice and recommendations to improve mobility while sitting and stretching. Murcians will be able to use urban public transport, colored buses and trams, free of charge tomorrow this Wednesday, World Car-Free Day, thanks to the collaboration between the City Council, through the Department of Sustainable Mobility and Road Cleaning, and the concession companies.

Murcians will also be able to use urban public transport, free of charge throughout the day, thanks to the collaboration between the City Council, through the Department of Sustainable Mobility and Street Cleaning, and the concession companies. Many have taken advantage of the occasion, as they have captured the microphones of Radio Murcia: “I am going to take advantage and I am going in that one”, has declared a septuagenarian. “Well, I was going to walk and now I’m going to take the bus,” said a lady.

In addition to promoting public transport, promoting bicycle use is key to reducing pollution. Vistabella has become since Monday the official bicycle neighborhood of the municipality of Murcia. It is a neighborhood where there is a significant number of residents who use this means of transport, it even has neighborhood workshops dedicated to bicycles. All, despite not having a single bike lane that crosses between its streets.

This is precisely what Nacho Álvarez-Castellanos, president of the Vistabella Neighborhood Association, has claimed in the Hoy por Hoy Murcia microphones.

This is how World Car-Free Day is taking place in the capital of the Region in the absence of knowing the official figures on the reduction in the use of private vehicles that the different initiatives launched by the Murcian consistory have had.
