FGV closes lockers at most stations Metro
free from the 21 h in 19 stops Public Transport. Railways of the Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) closes at the box office 21 hours, 19 surface stations on lines 1 and 3, which prevents any traveler to cancel, even if he wants, the travel document in a bond or buy a ticket. This situation allows free travel between the 19 stops. FGV unions complain that the reviewers were instructed to denounce those who travel without a ticket, even if the company that makes it easy.
The closure of 19 surface stations in lines 1 and 3 Metrovalencia from 21 hours to travel free of charge until 23 hours, although it is intended to pay or cancel the bonus. Of course, the total free ride is only possible between stations that are not underground. And carries two dangers. One, that the traveler who does not risk the mandatory travel insurance, so FGV not responsible for any mishap that occurs. And if the traveler "card" was discovered by a controller you risk a fine if not paid, may end up on trial for alleged embezzlement. This Kafkaesque situation the unions yesterday denounced Works of Railways of the Generalitat Valenciana (FGV). "It is the result of the implementation of the Aegean Plan, the company said, increases the quality of customer service but actually provides a worse service," complained Yesterday the representatives of UGT, CCOO and the Inter-Railway Union Valenciana (SF-IV)-the Independent Railway Union was unable to attend, but supported the allegations.
Aegean Plan has removed the box office staff (who now serves in the halls where they advise travelers to buy the bonds in the machines), has ignored the staffing at the stops and prevents the replacement of staff with low or retired. So when the staff completes its journey, the stations are closed but are still several hours of train service. At 19 stops on the surface of Line 1 and 3 (as Llíria, Burjassot, Paiporta Picassent, l'Alcúdia, Villanueva de Castelló, Massamagrell, Museros Foios or, see the chart that accompanies this information) there are no canceling at the platform. So if you take the train from the 21 hours is impossible Ticar or buy the ticket. The underground
if paid
If the trip is to another station on the surface, is free. On the other hand, if you travel to the center of Valencia (or a subway station) the trip is canceled when exiting. "But those who travel without a ticket must go to the intercom, if they do, tell him the problem he treats from the command post that normally cross the output is usually no more questions," complained yesterday Antonio Soler (UGT) Manuel Zamora (CC OO) and Carlos Sales (SF-IV). "The problem is that the auditors are ordered to be fined, but the traveler go without a ticket because of the company. If you do not pay the fine, FGV complaint for alleged fraud. If you lose the trial must pay the costs. More one has spent a weekend in jail for not paying Picassent a single bill, "he said Zamora, who says that already" have collected 6,000 signatures against the closure of stations in town halls and offices of the Consumer. "
Unions also recalled other examples of "disastrous management of those responsible for FGV. The ten trains to which was added the fifth car "stand in the workshops because they are not adapted to the ATO (Automatic train operation) the automatic traffic control, which was promised after the 2006 subway accident with 43 dead and 47 wounded, which was launched in 2011 "without being properly fitted for electioneering." "The ATO causes sudden acceleration and braking that people attributed to drivers, but travelers should be aware that due to the ATO is not properly installed." Another train pulled because it filled with graffiti "wait for a month to get the painting because FGV not afford to pay", they say. "Do not pay providers and FGV debt now exceeds their real value."
