Surely this is another example of the corrupt EU forcing Spain to use smaller buses to punish innocent Brits.
More buses then. And more frequently running because tourists are staying for less time making turnovers ever shorter. Add the increasing volume of tourists too and you’ve got more congestion, pollution and locations permanently saturated all season. Mallorca is becoming more like a theme park than anything else. Hopefully this Govt will pull its finger out on its supposed agenda for sustainability.
Smaller vehicles mean more drivers, and more holiday reps. With an already shortage of drivers on the island for coaches, where are they going to cover the supply and demand?
Large coaches are less efficient for meeting changing demands . Ha ha ha What they really mean is the cattle do not like being crowded into such large vehicles.
