The Madeiran councilor considers that urban mobility policy in the region cannot be limited to superficial measures, such as painting BUS lanes on the asphalt and changing traffic directions. He argues that deeper and more structured interventions are necessary.
The councilor requests a rigorous assessment of the new BUS lanes implemented in the city of Funchal, questioning the effectiveness of the measures adopted so far. He intends to analyze whether these lanes are truly fulfilling their purpose of improving public transport.
The criticism arises in a context of debate about the quality of mobility infrastructure in the capital of Madeira. The councilor warns that cosmetic measures do not solve the structural transportation problems of the region.
The municipality of Funchal has been implementing changes to the road network, but according to this official, what is lacking is an integrated strategy that goes beyond visible road interventions.
