On The Buses

Torrevieja council is looking at taking control of the local bus network, moving it away from being privately operated under a tender. Mayor José Manuel Dolón, said that he had started talks with the central government to see if this was feasible and possible, with the council likely to have to employ around 50 people to run the bus service, something that is not allowed under austerity measures implemented by the government. Dolón claims that bring the buses under municipal control would save money and provide a better service.
