Campo bus system cutting costs

CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR (Agencies) Following a report recently that most of the buses belonging to the Consorcio de Transportes del Campo de Gibraltar, the bus management consortium, are lacking seat belts even on relatively new vehicles (The response was to this was, "if the bus has them, you're obliged to use them, if not, not."), it has now ben decided to eliminate the Algeciras to Rota route from January 1, 2011, except in summer, as a cost-cutting measure to reduce losses. Another route cut out is the Algeciras-Tahivilla run, which affects travellers to Tarifa because there was a stop there on the way to Tahivilla. As compensation during the summer high season, the number of buses on the Algeciras-Tarifa route will be increased. Other measures proposed by the company, Comes, but not approved by the consortium (this time) included the partial elimination of service between Algeciras and Tarifa (11 weekly buses there and 11 back); between Algeciras and San Pablo de Buceite (5 and 5); La Línea and San Roque (29 / 29) and Los Barrios and La Línea (10 / 10).
