(en) Brazil, Movimento Passe Livre Florian?polis - Holy Juninho, miraculously mayor! (pt)

In recent weeks, the population of Florianopolis has been presented to a number of 
innovations in public transportation. Project has Lift Massif, Social Tariff for the 
people, reduction in fares, Free Pass pros poor students and a lot of technology in the 
brand new SIM (Integrated Mobility System). Does the municipality decided to finally take 
ashamed of yourself! 's a miracle! ---- You know nothing innocent! ---- Remembering is 
living. How did all this happen? Last year, the bidding shipping was released. This showed 
clear indications of fraud, limiting competition. This means that only the same companies 
ever - providing a hog operation for more than 80 years - could enter the bidding. Said 
and done:. Renamed to Phoenix, these companies are right to explore the city 
transportation for over 20 years The structural logic of the system also remains intact:. 
transport is still seen as a commodity the dismissal of 350 workers is the first step to 
increase profit. The cuts to bus lines and increasingly crowded part of this system that 
does not care for users. No proposal for the integration of the metropolitan area, home to 
suffer most from the price of premiums and the terrible conditions on the buses was 
presented. The truth is that the mayor is even a chickenshit and just did was to ensure 
corporate profits. Like new paint disguises coaches ever, the chat technology tries to 
hide that this new system is it is nothing. But not to say that we do not speak of flowers 
SIM ...

The appearance of 15 cents.

For general happiness of the people, the mayor decided to lower the rate immediately! What 
a marvel! The problem is that in this case, its population is paying this reduction. 
Epa! How so? When the rate was costing ? 2.90 (cash) and ? 2.70 (card) allowance was 28 
cents per passenger. This amount is paid by the city for entrepreneurs to further increase 
corporate profits by using as an excuse the cost of exemptions (elderly, disabled, etc..). 
Ie, the passenger paid R $ 2.90 and R $ 0.28 prefecture, totaling a total of R $ 3.18. Now 
with the passage money costing R $ 2.75 subsidy of city hall rose to 42 cents, or R $ 2.75 
R $ 0.42 + gives a total of R $ 3.17. That means we do not pay directly pennies and spent 
to pay more through the grant. Actual reduction of the passage was a measly centavinho . 
This reduction by increasing the allowance could have been made before and is not the 
result of any bid. But every reduction is valid, right? But the announcement of the city 
says that companies can increase rates every year.

The Social Tariff sacred.

Today, the so-called social tariff is already applied in lines that circulate in places 
with higher concentrations of low-income families. These lines are usually scrapped and 
not allow the residents to pay the same amount for other areas of the city, trapping 
people on the way home - work - home. The new social tariff, ? 1.75, will apply to those 
who have a family income of up to 3 minimum wages. Thus it is expected that these people 
can move in all lines (non-metropolitan) paying this amount. But if there really is 
interest in improving access to the city, why not make a right social tariff? Like 
money, suffice it managed to end the Social Tariff be on the verge of death, taking with 
her the free pass student for students low income. Moreover, by establishing the Social 
Rate the Town recognizes that public transport in the capital, is for the poor. Thus, 
following their ugly habit of favoring policies that encourage the use of cars, creating 
ever larger queues.

Blessed is the Free Pass.

The Free Pass student passed the House in 2004 , thanks to demonstrations and much 
insistence population of Floripa. At that time, the bill was approved in the chamber, but 
vetoed during school holidays for a judge who invented the measure was unconstitutional. 
The same proposal, Free Pass Student universal and unrestricted for all students in the 
city, after the Federal District was approved thanks to the popular struggle. The Free 
Pass to the City Hall now stands, linked to the social tariff, and excludes other students 
who also need, is not a right, but only a benefit, which may be removed when convenient. 
If the mayor was not a coward, widened the free pass to the people and turned into a right .

Blessed lift on high.

Another novelty is the holy as the cable cars that will be built in the Massif Morro da 
Cruz and cost a paltry sum of two million dollars per month in allowance. The cable car 
will only have 3 seasons:. Center, the hill and UFSC The question is: how much will it 
cost to pass Some scholars of the mobility system have indicated that the same value would 
be possible to put several new bus lines to meet the population of the Massif, with the 
advantage of having multiple breakpoints and fit many more people. In Rio de Janeiro a 
very similar project was implemented in the Morro do Alem?o and the result is that the 
cable car there has only served to tourists.

Let us pray!

This is an extensive debate and it is up to us, the population of Greater Florian?polis, 
learn more about the proposals and actively participate in decisions that touch our 
cities. We, the Free Pass Movement, we're watching and have a good memory. Beside the 
people struggled to get a more decent transport and a fairer city. We have memory and lets 
not fool ourselves with these sermons fuleiros the mayor who only want to secure the 
profits of shipping companies, as the great God these guys is money!

What is MPL?
The Free Pass Movement is a group of ordinary people joining almost a decade ago to 
discuss and fight for another transportation project for the city. We operate in several 
cities in Brazil and fight for effective democratization of access to urban space and its 
services from the Zero Rate!

MPL:

We are not connected with any party or institution. The MPL is an independent social 
movement and horizontal, which means that we do not have presidents, rulers, heads or 
secretaries, all same theme voice and decision-making power within our spaces. We believe 
that we should not wait for initiatives and actions of politicians and businessmen, and 
that only the organization and popular initiative can achieve really significant changes 
in society. It is the people, he alone has the power and the will to change things and 
building a transportation city and even a different world. This became clear in 2004e 2005 
when occupied the streets of Florian?polis for days, until the absurd increase in tariffs 
were canceled. The same idea was confirmed in 2013, when we mobilized in cities across the 
country and won some important improvements to transport: how revogamento tariffs in 
various capitals and the inclusion of transport as a basic social right.

We believe in changing society through the change in the logic of urban mobility with the 
implementation of the Zero Rate. We do not want the buses have turnstiles that prevent so 
many people come and go in all the major cities of Brazil and now exclude 37 million 
Brazilians who can not afford the fares of public transport. But we know that this is not 
enough. Besides the exclusion for transportation, there are inequalities between whites 
and blacks, men and women, rich and pobres.Temos to reconstruct an entire world! The 
ratchet repudiates the MPL is also symbolic. There are turnstiles invisible by all 
parties, preventing full access to spaces and services. We must destroy them all together. 
The fight we want to build a world in which there is no ratchet!

Zero rate:

Zero rate is the most practical and effective means of ensuring the right to come and go 
throughout the population cidades.Essa idea is founded on the entendimentode that 
transportation is an essential public service, a fundamental right that guarantees people 
access to other fundamental rights such as education and asa?de.

With the growth of cities without planning, access to health, ?educa??o, leisure, working, 
among others, was extremamentecomplicado, besides costing a lot of money, several hours of 
our day. In large cities the offsets are a daily necessity, because without them the 
social life would be frustrated.

In more distant from major centers, access to fundamental rights can only be realized 
through public transportation. And to ensure that the whole population can enjoy these 
rights, transport needs to be public and free. Otherwise, people not self have money to 
pay the fare may not reach their destinations and exercise their rights.

Zero rate will be taken through a Municipal Transportation Fund, which will use funds 
collected by the municipality in progressive scale, ouseja: who else can pay more, those 
who can least pay less, and who can not pay. These features are basically the property tax 
and the ISS. The property tax for banks, major developments, villas, hotels, resorts, 
malls, etc.., Be proportionately increased so that the richer sectors of the city 
contribute adequately, distributing income and ensuring The existence of a system of 
public transport truly free and quality available to all people, without exclusion.
