Euro 2021 Bilbao: Free public transport for amateurs, 95 concrete counter-terrorism fences...
- The City Council of Bilbao has designed a "Security Plan" on the occasion of the celebration in San Mamés of several matches of the Euro 2021 football championship. For example, in the city streets "95 counter-terrorist fences" will be installed, formed by concrete blocks. The aim is to prevent attacks of up to seven tonnes of lorries in the area, remembering what happened in Barcelona or Nice.
On the other hand, football fans attending the matches on 14, 19, 23 and 27 June, including the defenders of the Spanish national team, will be able to travel free of charge by public transport. The tourism services company Bilbao Siglo XXI will enable the logistics necessary for thousands of tickets, among others, to travel to the football field at no cost to travellers, both by subway and bus.
In addition to the hobby, 900 volunteers will be able to travel for free. What less, given that the work will be free for UEFA, as Eragin Kolektiboa recalled, in a statement. He also recalled the tax advantages that UEFA will have in the last fiscal year.
