MADRID, 19 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Economy, Finance and Employment of the Community, Rocío Albert, confirmed this Tuesday that the regional government is considering revising public transport fares upwards to allocate the proceeds to investments.
This was stated during his speech at the Madrid Breakfasts, organized by Europa Press, where he indicated that it is a measure that he is studying jointly with the Minister of Housing, Transport and Infrastructure, Jorge Rodrigo.
“What cannot be done is to make things impossible,” said the counselor, who emphasized that it is necessary to carry out this review if we want to maintain “the level of investment” in Metro, which is one of “the best in Europe.” and is among those “of the world.”
Albert has indicated that we must continue helping those who “really need it”, but “perhaps part of the subsidy that was a consequence of the pandemic should be reversed and used for those investments.” In any case, he has not yet announced what time horizon they are working with.
