The Palma tram project, Trambadia is the name, will have a route from the centre of Palma to the airport very similar to one that was presented some fifteen years ago. The differences between then and now are the will to make it happen and European funds to pay for it. The cost is put at 185 million euros, and the Spanish government will foot the bill, using EU funds.

Don't panic it will never get built.
Google calls it at 9.3 km to Palma central. 30 mins by bike and 11 mins by car. So 30 mins on a tram is pants. Who is getting on and off at all those 16 stops? Straight line, no stops 15 mins maximum. No one wants a direct and local line combined. Stupid.
The bus is already quicker.
I think it is 8 stops between plaza España and the airport and the same in reverse, so a total of 16 stops. But I might be wrong.
Someone’s got it wrong. 16 stops and thirty minutes is mental, if true. Hopefully not, but you never know. Screwing up good ideas is an art form here. The recent debacle over the dedicated vehicle lane from the airport is a classic example.
Zoltan Teglas16 stops ? surely not, that would mean a stop every 400 metres?
30mins to Palma, doesnt sound right, its only 3 mile ?
Let’s hope it’s not plagued with violence and disorder that we keep hearing about on the trains from Palma to Inca etc, especially in the evenings with security guards having to be employed then also getting beaten up, appalling state of affairs.
Great news!
