Mobility Changes in Realejo Due to Works Spark Criticism in Granada

The reorganization of bus lines C30, C32, and C35 in Granada's Realejo neighborhood, prompted by construction work on Santiago Street, has led to a "mess" in mobility, according to the opposition and unions.

The PSOE in the Granada City Council has labeled the recent reorganization of bus lines C30, C32, and C35 as a "folly." This measure was implemented due to comprehensive renovation works on Santiago Street, located in the Realejo neighborhood. The opposition demands an urgent rectification, arguing that these changes are negatively impacting both residents of Realejo and Barranco del Abogado, as well as tourists.
“

"The chaos in a senseless reorganization has turned out to be a folly, showing a lack of management and an absolute lack of knowledge in the organization of the lines."

a PSOE spokesperson
The main concern revolves around line C30, whose terminus has been moved to Paseo de la Bomba, rendering it "inoperative" for reaching the Alhambra. This situation has resulted in a low number of daily users and a "useless" expenditure of resources. Furthermore, the management of line C32 has been criticized, as despite receiving reinforcements, vehicles operate "out of service" without allowing passengers to board, leaving many without transportation.
Line C35 also faces issues, being heavily used by tourists to reach the monument due to a new stop, which prevents its use by residents of Barranco del Abogado, who find the buses "absolutely packed." This forces Realejo residents to make transfers and pay double, increasing the cost and duration of their journeys.
The socialist group's complaint has been supported by urban transport workers' representatives. A union spokesperson has demanded the return of line C30 to its original route, calling the measure "unreasonable" for forcing buses to operate almost empty from Paseo de la Bomba, despite high tourist demand and residents' mobility needs.
For her part, the Mobility councilor has defended the changes, assuring that they were agreed upon with the Alhambra Board. She explained that the inability to pass through Santiago Street would have significantly extended lines C30 and C32. The decision to temporarily move the C30 terminus to Paseo del Salón aims to diversify tourist flows and was communicated to the Federation of Hospitality and tourism entities. The councilor acknowledges that adaptation "will take time" but insists that the changes maintain mobility for residents and tourists, although they require an adjustment period.
