The Great Project of which we spoke last year and the time has come. All local media-a link at the end of the post-comment novelty, although this article we capture is the Ideal Gallego:
The coruñeses have at their disposal since yesterday the forefront of urban bus "totally accessible to the city" as was presented by Councillor for Mobility, Yoya Neira. This is line 4, which connects the districts of Monte Alto and Barrio de las Flores, and that under the socialist mayor, incorporating the different contributions made by people "who belong to the municipal commission of accessibility, which are main aware of their particular problem. "
All vehicles that have a ramp up access. It also incorporates a public address system interior, announcing the stop to get to it, and an outer , designed especially for the blind that warns of the line is pulled do stop in the time and place in which is being conducted. 
A processing line 4 was allocated about 600,000 euros . Not only were conducted accessibility improvements in vehicles but also the stops. As explained Neira, in all passenger collection points Line 4 was installed "a special pavement in the waiting area, which is rough a yellow band that runs so parallel to the curb of the ac was , serving for that blind people "know not to be exceeded by the danger of the proximity of the bus."
This adds another -band with the same board, but a little wider, "that extends perpendicular to the roadway and marks the entrance to the gate input bus .
Mobility Councillor highlighted the changes that were made part of the stops with the disappearance bays or recesses on the sidewalks. " were eliminated for two reasons: first to that the bus can always reach the sidewalk because the bays are identified and measures are articulated buses some and not others, and second, because they are full of vehicles improperly parked , and difficult for people to access them, "said Neira. According to the local government were modified hundred per cent 20 of the 41 stops line, "with an investment of 20,000 euros, while the remaining 21" have become works of adaptation to an average cost of $ 1,000 per stop. " 
"Information Accessibility"> Mobility The municipal official said with the changes introduced in line 4 also wanted to ensure that it was "infoaccesible" . For this, the City Council placed new poles stop, which is reported by color distribution of the different lines who have service at that point, and at the same time, "come with a 'thermometer' that indicate the situation where you are and the name of each stops along its route, at a height suitable to be seen by anyone . "
This was completed with seven poles in which "real-time announces the arrival of the bus" also information service via SMS.
The councilor said his department decided to choose the line 4 for these changes because it was "a long route -connect with Barrio de las Flores Monte Alto, and with many passengers, and because it was a line fully made use of the bus lane" . This is compounded by the fact that was a path "Cross, who played in their stops many other bus lines" . The idea of \u200b\u200blocal government now is that all the services available to the line 4 both accessibility measures such as information, spread to the rest.
Map> The mayor took the opening Mobility accessible route to announce other measures held the City to improve public transport service : Editing a plane with all city lines, "similar to the Madrid metro, which according Neira, launched this week.
Councillor explained that the work for completion of the map was delayed as a result of changes he was forced to make local government in the trades in recent weeks. In particular, Neira referred to the number 2 bus route that, following complaints from neighbors of Os Castros for the elimination of several stops, had to be split on lines 2 and 2 A.
