A recent trip to Palma by bus meant having to stand all the way and it was on a regular urban bus not a coach style bus. Not a great journey. The free transport scheme will obviously mean more passengers, so more buses and better scheduling is essential. Looks like some haphazard planning has been going on instead.
Overcrowding is equally a major problem on Buses operating to Palma from Cala Millor etc. during the main Season. It is frightening that the drivers keep picking up more and more passengers forcing them to stand and cram together. All the Services covering Porto Cristo, S'Illot, Cala Millor, Cala Bona and on to Cala Ratjada are overloaded in the Summer. Incidentally the Driving of these overloaded Buses is disgraceful. BUT I have observed the young Lady Drivers are a Credit to the Company and drive exceptionally well.
