The government agreement between the PP and Vox for the new legislative term in the Junta de Andalucía dedicates three points to mobility, aiming to improve public transport quality. These points (60 to 62) focus on "strengthening funding for Transport Consortia to guarantee a quality public service", the "execution of transport infrastructure" with progress expected by late 2026, and "reinforcing public transport routes, frequencies, and schedules" with improvements due by June 2027.
While specific details are yet to be finalized, Vox Andalucía has stated that this is a "general government agreement" whose measures will be detailed throughout the term.
In the province of Sevilla, the most needed advancements concern interurban buses managed by the Metropolitan Transport Consortium of the Seville Area and the Metro lines, whose projects face considerable delays. Responsibility for both lies with the Regional Ministry of Development.
The interurban bus service presents a particularly challenging situation for residents of nine municipalities near the Sevillian capital: Gerena, Camas, Guillena, El Viso del Alcor, Aznalcázar, Umbrete, Espartinas, Salteras, and Castilleja de Guzmán. These communities have been demanding service improvements for years, calling for reliable vehicles, reduced delays, and a fleet that ensures accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
In Gerena, residents take up to three hours by bus to travel to Guillena due to the lack of a direct route, forcing them to transit through Seville. In Camas, the journey to Plaza de Armas can take nearly an hour, despite the short distance.
A recent development for Camas and Castilleja de Guzmán is the launch of the new BUS-VAO lane (reserved for buses and high-occupancy vehicles) in Northern Aljarafe towards Seville, intended to speed up bus journeys to the capital.
Other recurring issues in these nine municipalities include limited night bus service hours (the last service departs at 10:00 PM) and passenger overcrowding on routes serving multiple towns, leaving users in intermediate locations unable to board.
Regarding the Seville Metro, the northern line 3 (Pino Montano-Prado), currently under construction, is scheduled for completion in 2030. The association Sevilla Quiere Metro anticipates a decisive push from the new government for the Metro network, approved in 2002.
The association urges the presentation of the construction project for the southern section of line 3 (Prado-Hospital de Valme) before the end of 2026 to secure financing, possibly through a loan from the European Investment Bank. For line 2, it is recommended to have the informative study as soon as possible to define the route and commence works.
