Mayors of area of A Coruña they denounce that the Board has submitted a Metropolitan Transportation Plan without counting on them and many of the demands of their municipalities. They have requested an urgent meeting with the General Director of Mobilidade to take into account the allegations to the first project of the Ministry of Transport. The improvement in lines and frequencies is essential to advance in the use of the bus and leave the car at home.
Priorities for Oleiros
To Potters A frequency of half an hour is essential for Montrove, Oleiros, Serantes, Maianca, Dexo and Lorbé and the creation of a line to the university campus adapted to the students’ schedules. Also night buses related to nightlife and improve communication with the capital of the City Council.
“We will not continue to allow a bus every hour in the capital of the municipality – warns Ángel García Seoane, mayor of Oleiros – when it has a road from Perillo to Oleiros that has about 17,000 inhabitants, who are there and who use public transport if they had them; the same case as with Mera and Lorbé “.
What is Cambre asking for?
Cambre positively values the expansion of the service between the municipality and A Coruña and a new circular route around the estuary of O Burgo that will connect with Alvedro and another that will unite A Barcala with Arteixo. But he puts it in that there is no direct line to the hospitals.
“In a line as important as the connection with hospitals, it should exist directly without having to make those transfers that for a certain sector and for certain ages is easily acceptable but not for others,” says the council of Mobilidade, Patricia Parcero. “It is a rather large deficiency, taking into account that hospital parking spaces are so limited that facilitating this public transport I understand that it has to be essential,” he adds.
The municipalities criticize that the news raised by the Xunta have been known through the press, without receiving a response to their allegations.
Sada’s needs
The local government of Sada considers that a line is necessary to back up the western corridor of the municipality because it is an area totally lacking in alternatives to the use of private cars.
Mayor, Benito Portela, goes further and says that the City Council would be willing to assume the operating deficit of this line if the Xunta bids and hires it. “Of course, all the residents of Espírito Santo, Soñeira and O Castro have been with Sada for many years,” said the mayor of Sada.
“That line would reach the health center, which would allow any citizen from the core to access the health center that is inaccessible now. It would also form the backbone of a communication with the Bergondo estate, where there are many workers who lack their own vehicle.” , explains Portela.
Portela has sent a letter to the conselleira Ethel Vázquez in which he requests a meeting of the monitoring commission of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
