Once again this year, the Mijas Town Hall is offering the university bus service in the afternoons to the students of the University of Malaga. This was announced on Wednesday by the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), and the councillor for Urban Mobility, Marco Cortés (PP). It will be next Monday 23rd of September when this bus, the line 114, will start operating, thus complementing the morning service.
"We have many students who do not have a vehicle yet, they are in the process of getting their driving licence or they are also becoming aware of the need to use public transport, therefore, from the Mijas Town Hall we are going to offerall those university students from Mijas, the possibility of getting to the different faculties by public bus", explained the mayoress.
For his part, the councillor for the area, argued that "unlike the students who had classes in the mornings, those who had to go in the afternoons could not go by bus, so we got down to work to extend this service, which we have been offering since last year".
