Making Miniature Castles

Bicing a service next to the illegality

In March 2007, was introduced in Barcelona a new environmentally friendly public transportation service: Bicing. A year earlier, the municipal public company BSM had tendered Bicing granting a tender base budget of 55 million euros, which was given to the advertising company Clear Channel for a figure less than half the legal. To manage the service is outsourced to Dolphin Group which, in turn, hired workers and means by CCB and Movement companies, all advertising.

Since Bicing was put into operation, have succeeded one followed by complaints of unfair dismissal, for lack of working conditions and hygienic or misinformation about the toxicity of cleaning graffiti from bicycles. In this situation, I wonder: How can a municipal transportation service is operated by advertising companies? And, indeed, within a framework of outsourcing bordering on illegality, who is responsible? This seems an assembly made up to prevent anyone from getting wet hands
