The Facua consumers association has asked the Balearic government to promote the use of public transport by tourists and to introduce measures that will allow rapid travel by tourists without them needing to hire cars.
The association believes it is necessary to offer an attractive transport alternative to hire cars, the number of which is growing and adds to environmental harm. The request has been formally made to the ministry for transport, Facua telling the ministry that it has to ensure that there is the least possible environmental impact from increased traffic and emissions.
In addition to this, the association believes that there would be significant benefits for tourism and for the image of the Balearics if there were various public transport options.
