The Government of the Canary Islands has awarded a subsidiary of Salcai called Desic the computer operation with which passenger transport operations are put in black and white. Alsa has purchased, with an Andalusian subsidiary, the 1844 bus lines from the Díaz Group, which has two vectors: tourist transport and regulated passenger transport. In the case of the second, it is already operating among shopping centers in the south of Gran Canaria for free, something that at the moment no one has reported because taxi drivers, for example, also eat from this type of business.
For its part, the City Council of San Bartolomé de Tirajana has saved from the previous PSOE-NC legislature a plan to implement a system of land transport lines since at the time the theory of creating a municipal bus company was launched. Alsa would have made the mistake of believing that this transportation issue in Gran Canaria is fixed in Las Palmas, forgetting two key things: that Salcai is a company created with the support of the clergy and that there is nothing that bothers more in the south of Gran Canaria. opacity believing that the 'Case Mediator' style party walls serve a purpose. This, without taking into account that the Las Palmas transport employers' association is of the thesis of preferring bad things known to good things yet to be known.
The Registry of Land Operators of the Canary Islands is a tool that will make it easier for the Cabildo of Gran Canaria to organize licenses in the south of the island, where the business is at its best since line 30 is more useful from Las Palmas than taking neighbors. between Maspalomas and Tunte. In short: there is a mess. Alsa entered into buying already established businesses but would make the mistake of carrying out the operation without having tied up the concessions because that will be known in 2027. These authorizations are essential to be able to eat from the cake of official aid that, at the moment, only Global has access in more than 80% worth 40 million euros.
The modification of the decree law modifying law 13/2007 on sustainable management of land passenger transport will prioritize efficiency over supply and this means that if a route like Maspalomas-Gran Canaria Airport works well, new operators will not be authorized. In theory, torpedo this journey in prices and services. The standard will require operators to demonstrate that they have a "minimum fleet" with low polluting emissions.
From Transport of the Government of the Canary Islands it is stated: "we want the sectors and administrations involved to be part of the process so that it is not the law of a government, but the law of the sector and of citizens for the coming decades. This initiative will respond to the mobility needs of Canarian society throughout the eight islands, favoring the transition towards a sustainable mobility system in the Canary Islands," said María Fernández, general director of Transport of the Canary Islands.
