Cala Ratjada and Alcudia railways in government transport plan

The new bus concessions, set to be confirmed before the election, are part of this plan. They can take immediate effect, but the rail schemes are clearly longer-term projects. As well as lines to the north of the island, the plan includes provision for the tram system to the airport from the centre of Palma, rail connections to Llucmajor and Felanitx and a tram to Santa Ponsa.

Objectives of the plan are to reduce journeys by car by 20% to 36%, increase public transport journeys to 13% and bikes to nine per cent. The other 42% of "journeys", according to the government, will be on foot. As for tourists, the aim is cut car journeys by 30%. On the roads, some fifty kilometres of bus priority lanes are due to be created.
