Moventis TCC Pamplona reaches pre-pandemic levels in traveller record

 

Moventis TCC Pamplona, ​​the concessionary company in charge of urban and interurban transport within the Pamplona territory, has posted a record of more than 150,000 tickets on February 3rd. These values ​​are identified parallel to the Sanfermines season.

The first week of February was notable for the large volume of travellers who chose to travel to villavesas. According to Regional Urban Transport, a total of 152,247 trips were registered on the first Friday of the month, a new record of figures that evoke data from before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In turn, the entire first week of February reached 20,000 more travellers, compared to levels prior to the health crisis. These very flattering data occur in the context of the current 50% discount on the bus ticket established by the Government of Navarra, in addition to the disappearance of the obligation to use a facemask on public transport. These two aspects favor a greater demand for the use of public transport.

From TCC Pamplona we want to thank all users for trusting in our service. We will continue working to operate with the best quality and precision that is in our power, since every day there are more travellers who bet on Las villavesas.

Moventis Sarfa reinforces its commitment in Girona with the sponsorship of the XV Economic Debate of the Palamós Chamber of Commerce

 

Last Friday, February 17, the VX Economy Debate The immediate future of the global economy took place, promoted by the Palamós Chamber of Commerce and with Moventis Sarfa as one of the main sponsors of the event.

The president of the Economic Circle, Jaume Guardiola, was the keynote speaker at the economic session held at the Parador Aiguablava, in Begur. For its part, Moventis Sarfa, the main Girona concessionaire belonging to the Moventia group, once again repeated its commitment as a collaborator in the important economic debate. Enric Gimeno, manager of the transport company, was one of the business faces that stood out among the guests.

The talk, which attracted more than 80 attendees, included the participation of the president of the Chamber of Girona, Jaume Fàbrega, and the president of the Chamber of Palamós, Pol Fages. Speakers and attendees discussed aspects of interest such as the global geopolitical situation, inflation and possible options to boost the catalan economy, such as strengthening airports or ending competition between territories.

The participation of Moventis Sarfa demonstrated the commitment of the Moventia group, which is open to participating in debates and events in which aspects of social relevance are discussed, and the support that the company offers to the territory in which it performs the urban transport service and intercity passenger services in Girona and the Costa Brava.

 

The TUC night service extends its service on Thursdays until 4:00 a.m.

As of next Thursday, January 12, the night service of Regional Urban Transport will be provided every Thursday until approximately 4:00 a.m., depending on the specific schedule of each line.

Until now, the service carried out by the ten night lines ended on Thursdays around 00:00. The reason for the extension of the service is the notable increase in the mobility needs of users of Urban Transport during Thursday nights.

This change means that both Thursday and Friday nights, the night service will end at approximately the same time, with the exception of those days that are the eve of a holiday.

On the occasion of the extension of night transport hours on Thursday nights, the Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona will carry out a campaign aimed at young people this week. The campaign will include the placement of informative hangers in the villavesas and the issuance of radio spots.

This campaign will also highlight the advantages of the on-demand stop service aimed at women travelling alone or in a group, which has been operating on all TUC night lines since September last year.

Complete information on the TUC service can be found on the Urban Transport website (www.infotuc.es) and on the Tu Villavesa app.

The MCP launches a campaign to encourage the use of regional urban transport

 

The Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona (Mancomunidad de la Comarca de Pamplona in spanish) will develop a communication campaign over the next two weeks to promote the use of Regional Urban Transport, focusing especially on the young public and on-demand stop service for women. Starting on Monday, November 13, and under the slogan “Get on the villavesa!”, the campaign will highlight the advantages of this sustainable, accessible and safe mode of transport.

From the point of view of sustainability, it must be remembered that 45% of the Regional Urban Transport fleet has ECO certification and 13 new villavesas that move with gas from renewable sources have recently been incorporated. In 2021, according to the latest balance made by the MCP, the Carbon Footprint of the service was reduced by almost 2,000 tons of CO2 equivalent, which represents significant progress for the entity in its objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

On the other hand, the campaign highlights the accessibility of the TUC, since it is a cheap and easy-to-use means of transport. The buses are prepared for access by people with reduced mobility and for the use of wheelchairs. In addition, the TUC service is more accessible thanks to the different modalities and payment systems.

Thirdly, the safety of the service is underlined, making special mention of the intermediate stop service on demand on all night service lines: a measure aimed at increasing the safety of women travelling alone or in a group.

 

THE BANK CARD AS A NEW FORM OF PAYMENT
As the main novelty, the single TUC ticket can now be paid with a bank card. In this way, those people who occasionally use the service, do not have a transport card at that time, do not have a balance on said card or are on a tourist or professional visit, can now pay for the single ticket with their physical bank card or with the virtual card enabled on the mobile.

On the other hand, the advantages of the personalized card with 30-day pass that allows you to make as many trips as needed during a period of 30 days in three modalities: general, youth and large family. Finally, reference is made to the Tu Villavesa app that allows you to check the timetables and occupancy of the villavesas on all lines and stops in real time.

THREE GROUPS OF USERS
The campaign will be oriented towards three types of groups –general, young people and women– and will be disseminated through different media and supports: radio spots, brochures and hangers in villavesas, posters on canopies and signage in villavesas and taxis. In addition, awareness-raising activities will be carried out at the universities located in Pamplona. Finally, when disseminating the content related to the on-demand stops for women, the collaboration of town halls and women’s groups in the region has been requested.

Linked to this content, it should be noted that the taxi service in the Pamplona Region will also be present in the communication actions. Thus, for two months, 40 taxis will display on the outside of the vehicle messages addressed to the women users of the service with the following message: “Come back safely. This taxi waits for you to enter the portal”.

Moventis Illes promotes job placement in Mallorca with subsidies for students who take the initial CAP for travellers

 

Moventis Illes, concessionaire of interurban public transport of the TIB network in Mallorca, has signed a collaboration agreement with driving schools in the territory where its service operates. The agreement is valid for one year and will be automatically renewed to add more years of commitment to Mallorcan society.

This new project promoted by the company aims to promote job placement. The division based in Mallorca of the Moventia group will grant a subsidy for students of the CAP course (Professional Aptitude Course) who are interested in accessing job offers from the transport operator.

During the course, the staff of the Moventis team will publicize the company and present the contract offer to the students. The opportunity will have a prior selection process through individual interviews, followed by a driving test, which will serve to assess the aptitudes of each candidate for the position, and, finally, the notification of the incorporation to the company to the candidates who have been selected.

Obtaining the grant will be delivered gradually during the first professional stage at Moventis Illes.

This initiative demonstrates the Moventia group’s commitment to society. The expert company in sustainable mobility reinforces its proposal of opportunities with the mission of promoting the labour sector.

Josep Maria Martí receives ‘Honour Award’ from Etalentum

The CEO of Moventis and Executive Vice-President of Moventia, Josep Maria Martí, was given the Honour Award for his personal career at the Etalentum Awards on Tuesday. This is the first time that Etalentum, a leading Spanish staff recruitment company, has organised these awards and they coincide with the celebrations surrounding the centenary of Moventia.

Josep Maria Martí was chosen by a committee of experts made up by representatives from prestigious public-private entities in the region, such as Sabadell City Council, the Chamber of Commerce in the municipality, the Banc de Sabadell, the School of Economics and Business at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and Etalentum. After studying the profiles and careers of numerous executives from the region, the panel of judges from various backgrounds unanimously decided to recognise Josep Maria Martí for his career and the success he has achieved over more than 35 years of professional life.

In turn, Josep Maria Martí expressed gratitude upon receiving this important recognition by saying “I would like to express my thanks for this magnificent award, which I receive on behalf of the entire Moventia team, the family and the teachers we have had over the years, whose lessons have taught me to trust in people, let them work, train them in the necessary skills and treat them with empathy and respect. I would also like to stress that I am particularly pleased to receive this award at the start of a year in which we are celebrating the centenary of a company set up by my grandfather in 1923”.

The Etalentum Awards are local awards and have begun their history by recognising companies based in Sabadell and surrounding towns. The main goal for this project is to highlight the value of people-centric purposes at local companies based on such diverse factors as the promotion of internal and external talent, the level of commitment to employees, the creation of opportunities for training and professional development, the application of work-life balance, integration and healthcare policies, and best practice in internal communication and transparency.

The award ceremony took place at the Sabadell Chamber of Commerce and was also attended by the Mayor of Sabadell, Ms. Marta Farrés, as well as other prestigious representatives from the business world in El Vallès Occidental. Future editions will take place in other Spanish towns.

 

A benchmark for 100 years

Besides the award given to Josep Maria Martí, it should also be noted that Moventia, which is celebrating 100 years in 2023, was one of six companies nominated for the Etalentum Award in the category of ‘companies with over 100 employees’, all of which were selected by the quorum of experts for their sound projects to promote and develop human capital.

In statements from the co-founders of Etalentum, Jaume Alemany and David Boixader, these awards were created to “recognise the work undertaken by many companies to manage their human capital, to ensure employee motivation, to identify talent and foster it, and to facilitate work-life balance”, among other issues of a fundamental nature to business success.

 

Moventis Illes, a key player in the recovery of public transport in the Balearic Islands in 2022

 

Moventis Illes, concessionaire of the public interurban transport service of the TIB de Mallorca network, has become a fundamental element in promoting public transport in the Balearic Islands during the past 2022.

In general terms, a total of 15 million bus users chose interurban public transport (TIB) to move around Mallorca during the past financial year, which has meant an increase of 44% compared to the year 2019. These figures show that Mallorca, also thanks to the activity of Moventis Illes, has managed to recover pre-pandemic levels, according to data provided by the Ministry of Mobility and Housing of the Balearic Government.

This increase in demand over the last year coincides with the measures promoted by the regional executive throughout the urban and interurban public transport network, such as the increase in bus line frequencies and the expansion of services during summer of the territory. The free vouchers and discounts on Mallorca’s public transport have also contributed to this extraordinary result, which have resulted in a 70% discount on the EMT and TIB bus network, among other means of transport.

With a view to 2023, the Government hopes to continue this positive trend thanks to the free service for users who have the Intermodal Card, valid on all the lines operated by Moventis Illes.
