The regional transport ministry is working on a plan (called the plan for travellers) which it intends having in place by 2018 when the concessions of nine bus operators and nineteen lines come up for renewal. The plan, it is said, will seek to revolutionise public bus transport in Majorca and to entice the public away from using cars.

STAN JESSOP / Hace 4 minutes At last the prospect of a PLAN to improve the IBS Service. There are next to no buses across the Island on a Sunday. None of the IBS services call via the Airport. There was a better IBS Service in the Winter ???. The tremendous increase in Hire Cars, on the road in the Season, is being fueled by the ALL INCLUSIVE deals. The Hotelier Groups include Hire Car in their deals. I know of private Hire Car businesses that have gone Bankrupt , because of these ALL INCLUSIVE deals. One business had been established here for 35 Years !!!. THERE MUST BE LEGISLATION TO RESTRICT AND CONTROL ALL INCLUSIVE, THAT IS DESTROYING THE ISLAND'S ECONOMY. The Bus Services need to find ways to beat the Hire Car All Inclusive deals. When it rains, thousands of Tourists turn to the bus services. There are insufficient buses, on all routes during the rains, and on Sundays.The traffic jams and major delays on the roads now , is a major problem now in Mallorca.
