Extend LAC line to Chana and Zaidín districts; decrease transfers to the maximum in the city, improve and offer a quality service between different districts is are main axis of changes made on bus lines that will begin next 16 July, and free transfer with Light Rail as well.
This is what Mobility Councellor has explained today, Raquel Ruz, who has also detailed that main objective of new rearrange is that granadian people have a more uniform, equitable, easy and intuitive transport network.
So, 29 bus lines will connect Granada with this easier network, less transfers to do, and for all districts from Monday 16 July. Main novelties are five primary lines that will get across the city using a simple and intuitive numeration of lines. So, the city will come back to bus line 4 (LAC line extended to Zaidín and Chana districts), line 5, line 8, line 9 and line 33, and also round lines 11 and 21, that will again connect the city center with Camino de Ronda with no transfer. Also, retakes direct connection between the Alhambra and Albaicín with bus line C32.

In this respect, has highlighted the hard work made by municipal technicians incluiding as many viable neighbours and user petitions as possible in the last months, because our priority is to ease everyday life of citizens; using a more convinient where most of displacements will be made using one bus only; and also pretend to connect and attend different districts, the most adversely affected with network implemented by PP. Also, Mobility Councillor has remarked two questions of great importance in this rearrangement: intermodality with Light Rail and a bet for substainability both economical and environmental reducing kilometers travelled, which means less CO2 emmisions.
