The Councilor for Transport of the Ayamonte City Council has passed us the following information:
From Saturday (8th), DAMAS will put buses into service at the following times:
DEPARTURES FROM COSTA ESURI FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY.
8:00 HS / 15:30 HS.
DEPARTURES FROM AYAMONTE FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY.
7:30 HS / 15: 00 HS / 19:30 HS.
DEPARTURES FROM COSTA ESURI SATURDAYS.
9:30 HS / 14:30 HS.
DEPARTURES FROM AYAMONTE SATURDAYS.
9: 00 HS / 14: 00 HS.
Anyone wishing to use this service should call 639 419627 2 hours before departure or the day before.
DAMAS will provide this service for ten days, its continuation being conditioned to the cost of the service being covered.
It is good to see that a Bus Service has been re-established between Costa Esuri and Ayamonte but…
This is a very poor service that may suit some workers but for most other people the times do not work.
It may not have been a very well supported service in the past but I believe that again was due to the very poor schedule. There really needs to be, I suggest, an hourly service both ways. This could be monitored for say a 1 year period and then adjusted as necessary. The previous schedule and this latest one will probably not be supported because the times just do not work.
Perhaps even a better option is for one of the current bus routes to be extended to incorporate Costa Esuri. After all it is only 10 minutes from the bus station.
Perhaps it needs a member of the Ayamonte City Council to live in Costa Esuri, someone without a car, and then maybe they would look at this service seriously. Perhaps the service is not financially self supporting as is probably the case for many rural areas but we all pay our taxes – non residents even more so.
can the bus service provide a mini bus so we stand a chance of getting a regular service .
