The plan is for stretches of motorway coming into Palma and refers to the Llucmajor motorway and to the one from Paguera. Both have central reservations along sections coming into the city, which isn't the case with the Inca motorway. The idea would therefore be to concentrate initially on the two with reservations and to have a second phase for the Inca road.
A further idea for Palma-Inca is for bus-to-train transfer at the Es Caülls station at Festival Park. The bus would stop there and the onward journey would be on a metro-style train to the intermodal station that would operate every four or five minutes at peak times.
The government wants to speed up public transport because a journey can typically take up to almost three times longer than by car. Certain examples are given, such as to Cala Vinyes. Public transport means a journey that takes 2.7 times as long: 30 minutes by car and 81 minutes by public transport. A car journey to S'Arraco takes 40 minutes; public transport means 104 minutes.
The overall transport plan divides Majorca into three areas, for which there will be a single ticketing system when the plan comes into operation in 2019. The government aims to increase public transport use from a current 13% to 25%.

More lunacy motorway reservations to be changed to fast tracks!! Why ,not that many years ago when the motorways were first being considered was the maglev/ elevated rail system already in use (successfully in Disney) not even thought of ? Now why aren't we considering a less expensive option to traffic chaos- park and ride easy to introduce especially at times of bad weather when it seams everyone wants to visit Palma ? Time to earn your money counsellors instead of sitting their thinking up pie in the sky ideas
