Industrial zone in Antigua | Street View The Cabildo of Fuerteventura promotes the creation of the first regular interurban transport stop in the Nuevo Horizonte Industrial Estate, in the municipality of Antigua, responding to a historical demand from workers, users and companies in this area. Until now, the Nuevo Horizonte Industrial Estate lacked a stop within its own environment, which made access to public transport difficult in one of the commercial population areas of the Island. The new location, integrated into the commercial area, has been defined based on criteria of road safety and comfort for users, and has the approval of Traffic and the concessionaire company ALSA, which has already carried out the route tests with satisfactory results. The Cabildo has already processed before the Antigua City Council the necessary authorization to carry out the final phase of the action, which includes the adaptation of the stopping platform and the installation of the canopy, an essential step for its entry into operation on lines 3 and 16. The president of the Fuerteventura Cabildo highlighted that “with this action we respond to a historic demand in an area where until now there was no adapted collection point”, stressing that “our objective is clear: that public transport reaches every corner of the island, especially in an area like this, with so much commercial activity.” For his part, the Minister of Transportation pointed out that “the Cabildo continues to promote the improvement of the island’s transportation system”, recalling that “practically half of the fleet has already been renewed, incorporating electric buses within the decarbonization strategy, which will allow improving the frequency of the service also in areas such as the Nuevo Horizonte Industrial Park. In addition, we continue promoting new locations to bring public transportation closer to more points on the island, while the Cabildo supports and financially assumes the free service.” This action is part of the Cabildo’s strategy to expand public transport coverage in Fuerteventura.
