The Island Image Plan for Regular Passenger Transport is beginning to become a reality with the launch this October of the fifteen new bus stops that will be placed in the municipality of Tinajo. New shelters with a renewed and novel image with which it is intended to unify the image of regular transport on the island of Lanzarote, according to a statement from the Cabildo.
The Minister of Transport of the Cabildo, Ramón Bermúdez, has confirmed after the visit he will make in these days to this municipality together with the mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, and the Councilor of Transport, Antonio Morales, that "at the end of this month of October the new intercity bus stops that are being placed throughout the municipality of Tinajo will come into operation, thus being one of the first to join this Image Plan in which we are working and in which we invest almost two million euros".
In the case of Tinajo, the new shelters are located in different stops located in La Vegueta, Las Cadenas, El Calvario, the town's cinema, La Playa, La Santa and La Costa. In total, the placement of these new shelters was tendered for an amount of 125,820 euros.
Shelters in Haría
The Minister of Transport, accompanied by the Councilor of Transport of Haría, Ambrosio Delegado, has also visited the works being carried out in this regard in the northern municipality. Haría has also complied with the requirements to start the process of placing the new shelters.
According to forecasts, these will be fully placed and operational in the month of November. According to the project corresponding to the northern municipality, 25 new shelters are assigned, which are distributed between Mala, Tabayesco, Arrieta, Punta Mujeres, Órzola, Haría, Máguez and Yé. The tender amounted to 283,353 euros.
Unifying the image of transport
The Island Image Plan for Regular Passenger Transport was presented in June. It includes the placement of 130 shelters with a new design through which it is intended to unify the image of regular passenger transport, reinforcing its competitive position.
The minimum investment planned for the fulfillment of the Plan amounts to 1,800,000 euros, of which about 380,000 euros have been allocated to the supply of the new shelters ordered and manufactured, and the rest to the financing of each of the municipal projects.
The new shelters, designed by the architect Alejandro Muñoz, present a new image that has been registered, becoming the property of the Cabildo de Lanzarote. The concept of the same reinterprets the classic pergola of the traditional architecture of Lanzarote, using durable and resistant materials, which need minimal maintenance and which integrate perfectly into the landscape environment of our island.
New technology
The shelters are equipped with interior lighting and low consumption LED technology. The power supply of these luminaires will be carried out by means of photovoltaic panels that ensure the autonomy of the installation, contributing to the implementation of clean energy. The result of the design is the result of the consensus reached between the Cabildo and the municipalities of the island
