The users of Rodalies de Catalunya have protested this Saturday at noon for a «dignified railway system» in various municipalities of Catalonia, such as at the Tarragona station, where the concentration has turned into a demonstration through the streets of the city.
Under the slogan ‘For a Dent Railway Service for Everyone,’ concentrations have been held, convened by nine entities, at the stations of Lleida, Tarragona, Tortosa (Tarragona), Valls (Tarragona), Segura de Calafell (Tarragona), Cardedu (Barcelona), Molins de Rei (Barcelona), and Figueres (Girona).
At the Molins de Rei station (Barcelona), the member of the Association for the Promotion of Public Transport and the platform of public transport users of Baix Llobregat who convened the demonstration in this city, Luis, has demanded dignified trains for all: «They must be trains that arrive quickly and must be accessible.»
Carrasco criticized that in Molins, for 5 years, the works to make the station «stop,» so the elevators and the elevator that assist at the station’s door to hang a person with a disability are not active, and he stated that they have no information about it.
He also pointed out the trains’ unpunctuality and assured that this situation forces workers and many people who have other activities such as going to the doctor to «take the train an hour earlier, at least, to be able to access and make sure that it works.»
