urban mobility and tram

development communications has led in recent decades a change in citizen behavior and dispersion of urban space.

One consequence of these behavioral changes has been increased distance traveled in everyday use and the frequency of them, leading to increased population pressure are the main attractions of the modern metropolis.

Bay metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bCadiz-Jerez, Andalusia's third in population after Seville and Malaga, has not been immune to this process despite being a polynuclear area distributed more evenly pressure to get their towns.

Cadiz, as one of the main attractors of metropolitan centers, has had to face this scenario with the problem of exhaustion of available urban space that prevents the creation of new roads to distribute and order flows to those concussion. The promotion of public transport urban and interurban and facilitate travel in non-motorized transport are the main alternatives to be developed to prevent future depletion of existing road capacity.

public transport to compete effectively with the private sector must meet three basic principles: frequency, average speed of travel and accessibility. Rail transport in its various forms (heavy rail, metro, tram, etc ...) has proven to be one of the modes of public transport more efficient not only in terms of energy consumption per passenger but also fulfills the above premises reasonably provided the infrastructure permits. The only railway line that has the metropolitan area-Jerez Cádiz Bay currently has a number of shortcomings in the areas of frequency and average speed derived mainly from the fact that runs on single track and a layout that requires you to surrounding the bay.

Unfolding of the railway that runs the Ministry of Development will help to raise the frequency of service by increasing road capacity and increase the average speed by eliminating the wait for the convoys to allow crossings.

Furthermore, the Andalusian is running the streetcar rail line Cádiz-Chiclana-San Fernando, on the one hand allow access to rail to the town of Chiclana de la Frontera, which has more than 77,000 inhabitants and significantly improve the accessibility of users to this means of transport in the municipality of San Fernando to travel on Royal Street. Moreover, it is in draft line-Puerto Real, Cadiz Jerez whose route will pass through the new bridge at La Pepa, which closes the ring rail allowing a more effective service by reducing travel time between the two main centers in the metropolitan area.

These infrastructure improvements in the metropolitan area will allow us to rail not only compete more effectively with other modes of public transport but private transport.

However, the efforts of the Cadiz City Council not to allow the tram to reach the plaza of Spain will significantly impair the accessibility of users to the service, away from its final destination. This line, if nothing done, it will end in the vicinity of access to the Avenue Navantia Shipyard, which will lose much of its appeal to users, requiring them to travel a great distance to the center of the city or another means of transfer transport. Taking advantage of the rail link could spring to get the tram to the heart of historic downtown, while leveraging an infrastructure that only the transfer convoys carrying containers would be far from exhausting its capacity.

is the obligation of public resource managers use these in the most efficient manner possible so that it can not be explained thus mutilate a service that will lead to a significant investment in our city and the bay environment with no insurmountable difficulties to justify it.

Gadmen The environmental association supports

Gadmen , the Friends of Environmental Defense, agrees with the Association of Alternative to Rail, the train to Manacor Arta Cala Ratjada, it is important consumer of land project that respects the environment.

The two associations agreed that the train Llevant negative impacts on the territory. Agree on what needs Mallorca public transport, efficient and environmentally friendly, car that is substitutive and consume no more territory. Therefore, both associations reach the same conclusion that the government would opt for a green bus network, connecting the towns than in the most optimal and without destroying more territory. Buses are a more flexible than rail and can be better tailored to seasonal demands.

The train is adequate public transport when you join a very dense population centers and villages. The train is optimal for the territory when the train is full, and the cost of infrastructure and maintenance is justified because the train has many frequencies and is full of passengers. It is not the case in the territory of Llevant de Mallorca, where the population is scattered and the population density does not justify the type of train and public transport.

A Llevant, where has already been invested in roads and ring roads have been made to destroy more territory to give an inflexible train does not make sense because they carry large numbers of passengers. It makes more sense to put a green bus system adapted to the application in size, and ensure a optimal frequencies because a family can do without buying more cars to be able to move.

The price of public transportation is an issue to be addressed. It must promote public transport so that it more economical than private transport. And that is efficient. This means that people can do without buying the car because public transport can get where they need to go (and not just the points where it stops the projected railway.)

A Aumas Llevant buses are neither efficient nor environmentally friendly, and they are expensive. This does not justify putting a train and destroy more land. What you should do is put a green bus network, efficient, economical and with good frequencies that enable people without a car because they come everywhere with a reasonable time.


Public transport in the Mediterranean Islands

Most Mediterranean Islands have no train. Instead there are islands like Menorca and small islands of the Canary Islands, Malta, where people can scroll past by public buses, which are sufficient to promote optimal and sustainable mobility by public transport.
