OPINION PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN ALMERIA
A problem to solve
It is known that the public transport system is a model Almería outdated, ineffective and inappropriate in a city almost 200,000 inhabitants, where the only thing that has prevailed is the modernization of the fleet, but without taking into account this aspect in itself poses no comparative advantage and a deterrent against the use of private vehicles, but, simply, is a component more within the network would be a real modern and efficient public transport.
could take as an example any line of the now through the city and the suburbs, but the line n º 20, which connects downtown with the neighborhoods of La Cañada de San Urbano and Alquián and the airport, is particularly suited to analysis.
These neighborhoods have experienced tremendous growth in recent years and the characteristics of the municipality, are the expansion area of \u200b\u200bthe capital. However, still have a bus service's own past, marked by some rough times, with a time step that favors large mass in each vehicle, with a common occupation of the stops for private cars access difficult for people with reduced mobility, and without the local police to act against offenders permanently.
To all this must be added the problems arising from the zero mobility planning team of city hall of Almeria, especially enabling platform reserved for public transport, especially in the most controversial points of the route.
is useless equip the stops with information boards time step (in La Cañada take time does not work) if it is very difficult to accomplish by sharing the same road the bus with the particular vehicle and therefore traffic jams. Another aspect of inefficiency is the use of high-capacity drives for the extension of this line to the University, when his occupation is ridiculous, while the main line comes to overcrowding, particularly at peak times.
Regardless of the critical need to develop a comprehensive plan for mobility in the city of Almeria and the metropolitan area, where a new mode of transportation like light rail or tram should be the backbone of the public system is a priority action on existing services to suit the needs of citizens and make them appealing against the misuse of the car.
There are many people who have to use the bus they do not possess own vehicle, but there is much we do have another car and do not want to use it regularly in its urban transport, but are forced to use public transport because the current is not useful Almería your needs: low frequency step, high travel time and irregular mass. Aiming
immediate improvements to the existing bus service, below are some easy to assume ownership proposals:
• Establish a platform reserved for public transport physically demarcated on the most contentious of the city.
• Incorporate traffic light priority Coach.
• Adapt the fleet to the characteristics of lines and times (peak and flat). • Create efficient
exchangers between different lines to facilitate a quick transfer at no cost.
• Ongoing monitoring of the stops to prevent squatting by private vehicles. Provide camera to those in which these performances are given regularly to deter the offender.
• Exploiting new technologies to communicate to the user's mobile phone when the bus pass is to be taken.
• Competitive rates to discourage private car use.
• Reaching agreements with the associations traders to public transport users get discounts on shopping and drinks.
These actions are necessary, are the beginning of more pretentious, but would impact positively on the rapid and immediate improvement of public transport and encourage its use, reducing traffic congestion and noise pollution and energy consumption.
