An Alcudia resident has taken to social media to complain about the difficulty of catching the bus. "Early June. We can't go to work, we can't even get on the bus. It's unsustainable."
While tourists were blamed, this person did admit - "The number of workers and tourists stranded at bus stops in the sun is incredible." So, the problem wasn't confined to residents.
It's hard to make out if the video was taken on Tuesday, which is market day and when demand for buses is higher than on other days.
Nevertheless, the point was valid in that there are other days of the week when it can be a struggle to get onto buses in Alcudia at certain times of the day.
The video was at the bus stop across from the market area. In Puerto Alcudia, a problem with queues for buses can be greater, because buses are full by the time they get to stops along the Carretera Arta in Puerto Alcudia.

It shouldn’t be too hard for the bus boffins to realise that a bus that started from Alcudia old town to go to Palma would solve a lot of the problem. Currently it starts in Can Picafort and is regularly full even before it even gets to the port! Maybe they are the same brainless boffins as those involved with the bin fiasco currently fouling up in Alcudia old town?
Errr more busses? Not rocket science. Or is it.......
