IU calls for “immediate implementation of city bus fare reduction in Logroo”

Izquierda Unida calls for “the immediate application of the urban bus ticket reduction in Logroo” considering it “scandalous” that the citizens of our city “will be the last in the whole country to see the urban bus ticket reduced and he wonders whether behind this delay there are economic interests of the private company that was awarded the service”.

IU believes that the City Council government team as a whole “should give an explanation to the citizenry for not having yet implemented this measure. – workers, pensioners, young people and women”.

The reduction in public transport prices is a strategic measure “that cannot be postponed and which helps to reduce the loss of purchasing power of these groups which must be protected above all in the current situation of generalized price increases”, they say from IU.

Izquierda Unida de Logroo also insists “in proposing to the Municipality to make a minimum 50% reduction on the Logroo urban bus ticket, extending the 30% reduction proposed by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda through the Help”.

In this way, the single ticket will cost 0.5 euros, and the 10-trip voucher will cost 2.65 euros, at the price of 0.26 euros per trip. This measure should be accompanied by a campaign for the use of public transport in the city.

“Precisely the population with the least resources in the city is the one who uses public and collective transport the most and who will benefit most from this social measure which can alleviate the great loss of purchasing power of the workers and the popular classes due to the increase in In the long term, in addition to the promotion of collective public transport in Logroo, this should be coordinated with a profound change of the concept of mobility in the city to a more sustainable and peaceful perspective, without excluding the direct assumption of urban transport services in the city as a service public to prevent private economic interests from harming the general interest of the citizens of Logroo”, they conclude.
