Couldn't the bus company see the potential of a bus service from La Mata to a major shopping centre ?
I was also astounded to find there was no direct regular bus service from torre to Zenia Boulevard, why?, it's the major shopping centre for miles around and has no regular bus service from torre.
Love Spain but it's not the most imaginative, enterprising country I've lived in. Anybody have any ideas why ?
I asked Rosa Tours why they don't do a shopping trip to Zena Boulevard once and they said they tried it once a while back, even picking up in Quesada at Consum, and nobody used it so they stopped it.
I couldn't believe it!!!! They had not advertised it anywhere as far as I know and they do send me trips etc now and again to place on this forum and never thought that maybe this vast forum with thousands of members and visitors might be interested in a weekly or even monthly trip to Zenia Boulevard, picking up at stops along the way.
Someone wasn't thinking there either!

Slightly unrelated, but I have asked both Rosa Tours and David's Tours if they would consider doing a pick-up in El Raso. The answer was a resounding "no". Short detour along the Lemon Tree Road, with another additional stop at the Hotel, then Consum and Quesada. Oh well...

I guess they are thinking that they wouldn't get enough 'take up' of bookings but I think they could at least give it a trial as El Raso is not that far out of their way.
When we got the bus to Guardamar recently from Quesada, near the Municiple Centre, the bus goes right past El Raso but doesn't have an official stop there. However on the way back there were people who asked to get off at the El Raso roundabout, so not sure if they hailed the bus down at that roundabout on the way there. Thinking about that, I would imagine that an official stop at El Raso for the Guardamar bus would be a good idea. It's not a frequent service but for anyone who wants to spend the afternoon in Guardamar, it could be handy but since when did good ideas come into being where transport is concerned in Spain. For bus companies that have been running for years, El Raso is a relatively new urbanisation and may possibly need to be pushed a bit more at council meetings to get it on the radar for buses (???)
