University transport improvements proposed in Mexico and Spain

Legislators and political groups in Mexico and Spain are addressing transportation challenges faced by university students. In Mexico, senators have proposed new public transport routes and specialized mobility services to assist students living in peripheral areas. The initiative seeks to reduce travel times and costs, noting that long commutes can lead to physical and mental exhaustion, affecting academic performance and student retention.

In A Coruña, Spain, the BNG political group has criticized the collapse of university bus lines connecting to the Elviña campus. Local representatives report that buses are overcrowded and lack sufficient frequency, causing delays for students. The group is also calling for improved infrastructure, such as better bicycle connectivity and the construction of university residences, to alleviate economic and logistical pressures on the student population.
