The Local Government Board approved this week to sign a collaboration agreement between the Alcantarilla City Council and the LATBUS company (Transportes de Viajeros de Murcia SLU), for the promotion and subsidization of public transport for students in our municipality, continuing with this bonus but this time also increasing the aid.
For the Councilor for Finance and Human Resources, Raquel de la Paz, municipal responsible for transport matters, "with these measures the current bonds are unified and coverage is extended to University Students and other regulated general education for those students alcantarilleros that in the municipality of Murcia pursue their studies of ESO, BACHILLER OR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING.The subsidy currently applied is increased from 29% to 38% which represents an increase of 9%, and the cost of the card, which the students themselves had to pay and that cost them three euros ".
The councilor also indicated- "the coverage of the service is increased since it can be used in any of the lines that will be agreed, in particular the 41 (Las Torres de Cotillas Murcia), 44 (Alcantarilla Murcia Espinardo) and 78 (Beniaján El Palmar Alcantarilla UCAM Espinardo Campus) and every day of the year, both in the metropolitan area and in the area of ​​the municipality of the capital, having free transfer in the hour following the first use ".
Among the important measures that are achieved with this agreement are the creation of a new Secondary Student Bond with 28 trips, for a price of 20 euros, also counting that the scope of use of this new Secondary Student Bond is that established with general character for the METROPOLITAN STUDENT TRANSFER BOND, managed by the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, through this transport concessionaire.
And finally, as a novelty, the creation of a personalized card-voucher.
