The "same old problem", is how they define the new altercation that occurred at the South Bus Station in Playa Blanca last Wednesday, April 19th. 

According to the CCOO delegate in Arrecife Bus, Ricardo Hernández, the incident occurred at 5:00 p.m., "when one of the travelers who was about to get on the bus, stood in front of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from starting, a gesture in protest for not letting him on." "All these incidents are due to the lack of reinforcements in the existing transport", he adds.

At that moment, agents of the Guardia Civil who "were carrying out a routine check" in the area, had to intervene called by the driver who alerted of "the aggressive manner" in which the passenger was acting, explains Hernández. 

For Hernández, this is a complicated situation, taking into account that "lines 60 and 62", which is the one that transports people to Playa Blanca, has a reinforcement service until 1:30 p.m. and then "there is no more". Which leads people to be "left in the air", which is why these altercations or confrontations arise, he concludes.
