¿Could it be cognitive dissonance that the Government returns to Alicante to see the trains?

According to various sources, members of the Conselleria de Mobilitat and SFM have again been to see the train / tram in Alicante (Mercado - Benidorm) on the 18 August 2009, say the Europa Press and Mallorca Confidencial.

On the 29 March 2009 the Diario de Mallorca informed us that the mayorsof the Llevant region along with members of the Conselleria de Mobilitat had already been to visit Alicante to see the benefits of this train / tram.

If the government has already announced that it has bought the units needed for the railway, 6 units for 26 million, why are they returning to Alicante? ¿Could this be cognitive dissonance ? (there is a tendency in people to unconsciously react to reduce dissonance, to keep a balance. Recent investigations demonstrate that dissonance can be a serious obstacle in decision making, which produces a strange scenario: that one clings or stands by his first decision even though one has doubts and possibly internal conflicts on the decision. ¿Could it be that they have bought 6 trains without being sure of the result or without proper planning?

SFM have visited railway 1, Mercado – Benidorn of Alicante. This line is 44 km long and has 14 stops. One Aeropuerto-Alicante-Benidorm-Altea.

The sheds are neaxt to the motorway AP-7, a route that connects the whole mediterranean coast from the French border to Algeciras.

Remember that the train in the Llevant region will be 33 km long with only 5 stops and they want to build the sheds in Son Carrió, a rural town that doesn’t even have a main road, and where, to get to the said sheds, one will have to go through the only road in the town which goes straight past the school.

The other possible explanation to this pharaonic project is that they want to turn Artà and Cala Rajada into an uncontrolled and exuberant concrete monstrosity like Benidorm and it’s surrounding areas.

  1. Before to start building the tram in Mallorca it is necessary to know some qüestions:
    . Who an Why did decided the way where pass the train in Alicante?
    . How has been the development of the cities and villages in Alicante due to this train.
    . How many people use the train in each station in functio to the number of inhabitants and the number of tourists.
