Spain is structured through transport. Comprised of road, rail and air traffic A skeleton under the skin of a bull. And buses are a means of connecting the countryside and big cities, especially for citizens. … The more vulnerable and humble people who don’t have their own license or car.
he concession map The country’s origins lie at the same historical point (19th century) when these services were born, and over time routes, stops, and frequencies were formalized. It is a state-administered plan that defines the. Intercity bus routesroutes, stops, and the companies responsible for creating these routes. It is the backbone that connects the various states and regions, and is then complemented and made whole by municipal and parliamentary support.
current minister Oscar Puente Working on a redesign (inherited from Raquel Sánchez and stopped by José Luis Ábalos). The direct rejection of the majority of self-governing communities; Both PP and PSOE itself (Castile-La Mancha). This would mean a significant reduction in interstate routes (by half from the current 1,912) and the elimination of hundreds of stops.

Threat of eradication in Andalusia There are over 80 bus stops that could directly impact 35,471 travelers.However, if you include the residents of the affected groups, the damage will be even more widespread. 367,744 people People who have lost their mobility. Minister justifies this measure standards of efficiency and profitability; Because they definitely do not make a profit and are subject to the terms of public service.
This scale represents: Direct attacks on small towns, It opposes the countryside and rural way of life, which is already in serious danger due to demographic imbalance and constant migration to vast urban centers. The provinces most affected if this concessional map (with some amendments) is approved are Jaén (28 municipalities will lose stops), Córdoba (21) and Huelva (13). It also affects Almeria (8 cases), Granada (5 cases), Seville (7 cases) and Malaga (1 case), without affecting Cádiz, where the center has the largest number of inhabitants.
Still, this autonomous community is not the most affected. The region known as Empty Spain will particularly suffer.: The two Castillas, Galicia and Aragon. States such as Soria, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Teruel have expressed opposition to the new Sustainable Mobility Law, which this restructuring is a framework for.
As always in this parliament, where central government and autonomous communities are at odds, there is little communication and even less agreement. Oscar Puente put the service profitability maxim into practice And we want to eliminate missing routes, stops, and frequencies. Measures to save costs, reduce time (because there are not many breaks) and make concessions more attractive.
Instead, it directs municipalities to complete this transportation service as needed. Offer a loan of 40 million (more on this later). This concessionary map is a far cry from the 110-120 million they estimate would be needed to complete the scaled-down “puzzle.”
government withdraws
Considering the refusal of the region; Transportation authorities will respond and ensure all stops are maintained. “31 of the 34 national corridors will be put up for tender, including all stops that autonomous communities have refused to accept,” he said in a statement. PP calls it a hoax. “If we currently have 79 routes and we remain at 34, how can we reduce those 45 corridors without eliminating stops, schedules or frequencies?”
The Sustainable Mobility Act passed its first reading from the House of Representatives to the Senate and was approved by the PP (majority). proposed an amendment to Article 48 to “protect” “Stops, Schedule, Frequency, Routes.” Here they get huge value small details Because of the great meaning they can get. Although the Spanish government has partially amended and guaranteed not to abolish the route, the People’s Party wants to remove this note: “Intermediate stops of services that are responsible for the state are generally located in the main cities of the corresponding itinerary, but they are also scheduled to be attended…”. I’m worried that my schedule or frequency will change That route may become useless to the user. For example, as happened in the province of Sanabria, they kept the stops there but abolished the first stop for morning trains, the most popular time, diluting its effectiveness.
It will return to the House of Commons after passing the Senate for second reading this Thursday. The People’s Party is concerned that Minister Oscar Puente’s plan will go ahead. “It has proven fatal to the rural world.” They are pushing for putting the brakes on the highway connecting Avila and Valladolid, citing “lack of economic profitability”. And this search for profit (or mitigation of losses) in transport has resulted in more than two million AVE passengers being left without compensation due to Renfe’s changed standards and new ‘punctuality promise’. The delay must be at least 1 hour to claim compensation.
Senate PP spokesperson said: Alicia Garcia He criticized the new transport map, saying it would “lead to the isolation of more than 3.25 million people living in rural Spain”. This Thursday will be a good day to gauge Oscar Puente’s support in the House of Representatives.
