A reflection on the public transport service
Recently, bus users from Manresa to Barcelona found themselves in the situation where the vehicle skipped the Passeig de Gràcia stop without warning, forcing them to look for other alternatives. This incident highlights the problem of public transport in our city. Instead of a culture of public service, a culture of ignoring users, forcing them to solve situations for themselves, seems to prevail.
The aftermath of the Formula 1 celebrations
The Formula 1 celebrations in Barcelona, with spectacular images of the drivers burning tires in front of La Pedrera, may seem attractive from an aesthetic point of view. Nevertheless, the consequences on the communications of the city and the metropolitan area are considerable. Hundreds of thousands of people will be affected in silence as they face inconvenience and disruption to their daily routine.
The critical view on these celebrations
These celebrations, far from contributing to the progress of the city, could be generating more problems than they solve. Barcelona already has a Formula 1 circuit that is paid for by all citizens, and this should be enough to meet the demands of this sporting event. Moreover, these activities might not bring the desired added value, but rather complications and inconveniences for a large number of people.
Final considerations
Before proceeding with such activities, it is essential to reflect on whether it is really worth causing inconvenience and disruption to so many people just for aesthetic or promotional purposes. We must consider whether these celebrations justify the suffering and inconvenience they cause to a large part of the population.
