Alhama Town Hall will pay half your taxi journey from Condado de Alhama
The subsidised taxi service between Alhama de Murcia and the districts is continuing this year
Alhama de Murcia Town Council has decided to continue its popular taxi subsidies between the town centre and the five outlying districts of Alhama, including the resort of Condado de Alhama.“The aim of this measure,” say sources from the Town Hall, “is to facilitate travel for those residents who do not have their own vehicle, especially the elderly or people with mobility difficulties, who, because of their limitations, find it more difficult to travel.”
Under the scheme, the Ayuntamiento subsidises 50% of the cost of the journey from or to each of the districts of Alhama de Murcia.
How to order a subsidised taxi to or from Alhama
The telephone number to request a taxi is 0034 662 864 022.
Alhama Ayuntamiento wants the following to be borne in mind before you book your journey:
- Journeys will be made directly from the point of origin to the point of destination, without stops along the way
- Users who wish to use the service should call the taxi switchboard in the outlying districts, which will put them through to the taxi driver corresponding to them to request the desired service
- If the first taxi driver is unable to provide the service, the switchboard will contact the next one and so on
- When you arrive at your destination, you must sign a receipt and pay the remaining 50% to the taxi driver
- This service is only available for residents registered in any of Alhama’s outlying districts
