The comments below notwithstanding, now that we're seeing many more young British tourists on the island again, with their total disregard for any by-laws, along with the all-but absence of Police, how else could the bus operators avoid drunkeness or spillage of drinks on the buses ?
If only those 40 people on the Valldrmossa bus that went on fire (Ultima Hora Wednesday) were allowed water they could have put the fire put!
This news article is incorrect. The new rules say "...dentro del bus no se podrá comer ni beber, EXCEPTO agua sin gas". Your reporter needs to improve his/her Spanish! Of course they can't ban still water!
The picture is from 2012. My mistake. The news article is recent.
This is an news article from 2012. Anyone had any problems with water on the bus the last four years?
Totally dim to ban water - are they seriously suggesting that on a long journey at height of summer I now cannot take a swig of water from a small plastic bottle?
Bottles of water might come in handy, considering two bus fires this week!
I presume that small children are exempt .............
The bus journey from Cala Egos to Cala Ratjada takes two hours. I think in August passengers would be dehydrated and need to be dropped off at the local PAC.
Are Nigerian drug sellers exempt?
