26 July 2019 - 09: 37

The Compromís per Xàbia group has announced that it will ask at the next plenary session, which will be held on Monday, that a fee for the use of the trenet to granadella, in addition to demanding greater forecast in the bidding of the service.

As the political formation has stated, "The users of the trenet should pay a fee for their use, since the cost of this service is being paid in full with public funds since it was put into operation. This has meant a cost of more than € 150.000."

Compromís spokesman, Juan Cardona, has indicated that they are in favor of offering a support service for public transport and more during the summer, "But that the price of the ticket is paid as in any public transport".

For his part, the mayor of Compromís, Vicent ColomerHas stated that "In the last legislature we already asked for a fee to be introduced for a service mainly used by visitors that we currently pay with our
taxes".

Cost alternatives

From Compromís they propose to study alternatives such as the introduction of a fee that goes to finance the tender itself, or on the other hand to take out the tender to companies that can charge for the management of this service, being the users who fully pay for the service without costing more money to the taxpayer

Likewise, the mayors of the Valencian formation have stressed that possible discounts for retirees, young people or residents could be studied as there are in other public transports.

Regarding the delay in the start-up of the service this summer, Colomer and Cardona have indicated that "It is not a receipt that the service is delayed again another year. Being almost in the middle of August what we see is a lack of foresight by the government team that has not taken out the contest well in advance to get this
on time service. With a good bus service, this type of tender would not be necessary. "
