The Cabildo de Fuerteventura continues with its strategy to optimize island public transport, aiming to provide a higher quality service to citizens. The Department of Transport is executing a plan for the improvement and renovation of infrastructures, which includes the conditioning and rehabilitation of existing facilities, as well as the acquisition of new bus shelters.
The Transport area has developed a plan that involves the improvement of over 250 infrastructures within the Island's transport network. These actions have been carried out in close coordination with the Works and Machinery service, with significant interventions at key stops such as those in Corralejo, Castillo, and Tarajalejo. The work includes the installation of lighting in more than thirty stops and the replacement of accessory elements on the shelters, such as benches, bins, and screens.
As part of this comprehensive plan, the insular Corporation has put out to tender the acquisition of a dozen new bus shelters for 137,298.12 euros. These new structures will be installed in locations such as Morro Jable, Tarajalejo, El Cuchillete, Valles de Ortega, and Puerto del Rosario, aiming to enhance user comfort and safety.
Interested companies have until August 19 to submit their applications. All relevant information is available on the electronic headquarters of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura.
The president of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, Lola García, emphasized that "the improvement of the public transport system not only involves increasing frequencies and reinforcing lines with higher demand, but also offering infrastructure that is in line with this important service for the citizens".
For his part, the Minister of Transport, Luis González, explained that "the use of public transport has seen an unprecedented increase of up to 54% year-on-year". He added that "this trend must be accompanied by an improvement in operations, of course, but also in the infrastructures distributed throughout the island to provide adequate facilities".
