New Free Bus
New Free Bus
by lynnemalkin » Mon Mar 11, 2019 2:24 pm
Hi
I have the timetable for the new free bus from Quesada to Rojales that runs Monday-Friday, does this replace the market bus on a Thursday into Rojales or is this in addition to it. Assuming with the new bus as it has so many stops you can jump on and off as and where you please too, is that right?
Thanks

Just wondering if this free bus is still operating as I was at the country club 10mins before it was due to arrive and I waited there for 30mins but no bus appeared?
Has anyone got this bus recently and does anyone know where exactly it stops at the country club as I was waiting beside the phone box at the front entrance - is that correct?
Cheers

I have been told that this bus is no longer operational, don't know why. I guess that enough of us didn't use it. We are really disappointed because we don't have transport and relied on the bus !! I believe the Thursday market bus is still running but not sure of the times.

Thanks, thats a real shame if true. Is there anything stopping someone running a daily/weekly minibus from Quesada to the beach similar to the golf holiday minibuses in the area?

only found out on Thursday that the daily bus has finished due to the very low take up
not seen it in print anywhere all by word of mouth (as works so well in Quesada)

A pity if this is no longer running, though am not surprised. One bus a day at what seemed to be an odd sort of time ( not even giving time to have lunch in Rojales ) and just as people are getting to hear about it and usage might rise, it stops. It was a nice idea but perhaps they should have done some more research on local needs/wishes etc especially on the proposed timetable . Buses don't even have to be free, just a bit more frequent.
The trouble with the buses is very chicken-and-egg. It's said there isn't enough demand and that's why the few buses that sometimes run, stop running. But Buses need to be seen to be reliable, well advertised and reasonably frequent for people to start using them regularly . But if they aren't reliable etc people won't start using them and then it looks like no demand....
Just like how there aren't enough taxi licences issued ( presumably deliberately to restrict supply) , and people are forced to look to illegal 'lifts' to get about locally or else they drink and drive. ( Still shocked at how many people drink and drive around Quesada, but it seems to be quite obviously linked to transport in and around Quesada being a bit difficult. )
That's another pointer for people looking to buy to consider the importance of being within walking distance of bars, restaurants etc. And need to have a car.
