Torrevieja Council Tender For 32 New Buses - Only One Supplier Interested

[Carl]

The City Council may not be too bothered about the sole supplier that is interested, as they already have a working relationship with Avanza. Perhaps one downside of the lack of interest is that there is no competition between suppliers on the tender price, and the Council reaping the benefits that may have brought if the price was driven down.

Interesting that the article makes references to two new interchanges on the urban bus service, one near Plaza de Castelar and the other in the commercial area of ​​Habaneras. I am sure there is some logic in the planning, but Plaza de Castelar is not too far from an existing bus interchange located at Eras de la Sal. I assume that the new interchange in the commercial area of Habaneras will form part of the new bus station (?) by the Civil Protection building, assuming the Council find someone interested in building the new bus station after attempt previously having failed.

The move to Plaza de Castelar is a temporary one while works are going on in Calle Salero. That was where the buses used to stop before the move to Calle Salero. The Fontana Hotel is where most of the town ones stop anyway.

Thanks Bee, that makes sense now.

One step forward and two back, again.
