3rd Birthday Wording Ideas

heritage train must stop the train by Llevant destroy the natural heritage and

Alternative to Rail Association is no longer the only organization that wishes to stop Llevant train project is bidding for a public transportation service bus, and become the old railroad tracks in Process Greens.


excessive spending and unbalanced


This train of Arta mortgage the future of the citizens for these reasons:


  • Too expensive: 190 million euro s.

With this money come together only 29 points in Majorca

  • This shows that the railway budget for only 5 cores is very expensive.


injured person


works are workshops Carrió are being executed without having presented the floor plan and elevation to públicoa exposure without a corresponding environmental impact report. The only environmental impact report is October 2008 and the project did not include the garages in Son Carrio.





So ask all politicians to stop this enormous project and invest the money efficiently in times of crisis: improving public transport by bus, with more frequencies and adapted to the application, converting old railroad tracks in greenways to promote an alternative tourism, and what about investing education, that will never be committed again barbarians projects like this, and in health.

What Happened With Jeff Hardy?

inordinately expensive alternative to the train has more followers than those who want to train on Facebook

In the councils can only see the annex to the third rail project Manacor - Arta and there is not the route to Cala Ratjada


The association Alternative to Train, has nearly 2,300 followers on Facebook . The partnership calls for an optimal public transport, efficient, cheaper than the train, and that does not destroy the country, based on a network of buses and convert the old railroad tracks in greenways.

Other Facebook groups for the train have fewer followers and these groups have been abandoned long ago.

Andratx Train to 646 members (group) 82 (profile).
Pollença We train to 463 members.
If members train in Mallorca 1929.

Volem page to Mallorca Vies Verdes (Greenways We Mallorca) has 634 fans.

Therefore, as you can see the train Manacor - Arta - Cala Ratjada expressed a strong rejection by the population. The destruction of the territory is too shocking to want to defend this type of infrastructure because there is sufficient demand to be justified. A rational government should consider whether it is more economically and socially to trains or buses before betting on a train without having considered all the consequences.

Saturday 4th December the Government published in the BOIB the third project by train Manacor Arta. The first one was in October 2008, the second in July 2009 and published six months after the third with changes that are already running before the citizens were able to argue, as the change in location of shops in Son Carrio, or changes replacement of some roads, which previously passed through a farm and now pass through others.


Only Annexes of the new project is available on the councils. In the municipalities there is available all project information.


Path to Cala Ratjada


Alternative to Rail has asked the government to make public the alternative route to Cala Ratjada to that can analyze the overall environmental impact of the new train . Under 52 09/04/2009 BOIB was to deliver the study in October 2009.

I echo what this man, always very wise in their opinions.
Levante EMV

Recently, the Department of Infrastructure has released a study of mobility in the metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bValencia. As expected, displayed no surprises in our cities Mediterranean journeys on foot are somewhat mainstream within populations, while the motor is dominant in the commute. Of the vehicles, 70% are made by private vehicle (car or motorcycle), and only 30% public transport. The bike appears for the first time significantly.
The minister announced his determination to achieve by 2020 a slight percentage increase in walking, cycling and public transport at the expense of a reduction in car travel, by means of "communication strategies." Without denying the importance of good public education campaign as part of a package of measures and policies, it is surprising that a Minister for Infrastructure preferably not act in their own area of \u200b\u200bcompetence: the provision of adequate infrastructure.
In parallel to these good intentions, continues to design infrastructure plans which can only reinforce the overwhelming weight of the car in the metropolitan mobility: duplication of highways and rails at the entrance to Valencia, new highways, rounds, distributors and 'rods' cross the entire region. More infrastructure that can only encourage greater car use, as is already more than demonstrated.
public transport systems also have improvement projects, it is true, but always subordinate to additions and infrastructure for the automobile, not instead of them. We took a couple of generations in the systematic investments have been far superior road to rail in its various forms, including the metro and tram (does not have high speed).
degrade After leaving the Metro Valencia, despite having ignored the warnings in the form of successive accident, he had to get to the serious incident of Jesus station, to be installed control systems and safety requirements. Recently completed the replacement of older rolling stock, but the withdrawal of the old units maintains a fleet that does not permit an improvement of frequency. I was in my village for 40 years a trenet every 15 minutes, and now I have a meter ... every 15 minutes.
There are many other possible measures, without the need for new infrastructure: reserve lanes into the city for buses and cars "high occupancy" (with three or more passengers), reducing car lanes step, a combined ticket for all public transport (in Barcelona for many years have a combined bonus bus-metro-suburban-Railways of the Generalitat, streetcar, interurban buses) and tram priority traffic light buses, completion of urban networks for bicycles (and intercity connections), subtract space to street traffic , to devote to such walking, they are the most important but also the most abused in the management of urban mobility. A Plan Sustainable Mobility, a package of comprehensive and consistent measures of deterrence and incentives, contrasting very well worldwide, but here are reluctant to consider our political and technical.

Head Feels Like A Bruise

Mobility and sent incomplete SFM train the administrative record to judge

SMP Politicians hide information about the project

Alternative to Rail Association - Llevant Mobility Network, filed a administrative litigation to the Department of Transportation last February. The main reason is that the draft law is based on the Balearic Islands wrong because not legislate on railways to receive skills. The Ministry of Transportation and SFM (Ferroviaris Serveis de Mallorca) had to send the project file Llevant tram train the judge to send him to the lawyers of the partnership and it can be analyzed thoroughly and continue with administrative litigation.

Upon receipt of the administrative record, the month of October, so that formalizáramos demand, it was incomplete, as there was any plan, project or environmental reports or road, so returned it to court and being required to ask the Administration to forward it to the full.

immoral SFM with this maneuver and Mobility have gained valuable time to continue with the works before the end of the legislature. While continue to destroy the Mallorcan landscape with cranes, trucks and aggressive deforestation.


public does CTM mobility studies Mallorca

Remember that this pharaonic project, the PSM is wasting, with the complicity of PSIB-PSOE, more than 190 million euros, having no mobility study to justify it. The association has requested at different times in the MLC (Mallorca Transport Consortium) to make public the mobility studies that were conducted during 2008 and 2009, once the project begins and the train of the town. The CTM gives long to the association to access these studies and not made public.

In a meeting that the association had with Antoni Verger, general director of mobility, and Jaume Jaume, CEO of MFS, we refer to Immaculada Salamanca, manager of the MLC so that we ask you mobility studies 2008-2009 . The association did so, but the CTM has no access to this information.

Changes in the initial project

other hand, builders do not follow the project exposed to public exhibition in July 2009. Minutes properties are invading without expropriation. The draft amendments have not been on public display for the new concerned to respond.
