The Regional Government of Alava (Northern Spain) is designing a "Bonus" system to promote the use of interurban buses. The Department of Public Works and Transport announced at the beginning of February 2010 their intention to launch a "bonus system" on the second half of the year for the users of interurban buses of Alava. The authorities hope that this measure will serve to foster the use of interurban buses in the region, by rewarding the frequent users and contributing to mitigate the expected fare increases. The department has also announced that this month the authorities will start the procedure for the creation of a Regional Transport Authority in Alava, with the implication of other agents as the Municipality of Vitoria-Gasteiz and the Basque Government. Among its functions: coordination and planning of public transport services, fare integration and information at regional level. Other stakeholders, such as the taxi sector and the cycling council will also be involved. |
