From October 30, electric scooters (VMP) and unicycles will be banned from all public buses in Palma.
Palma council has explained that the measure has been taken for safety reasons, “due to the danger they represent on board the buses because of their large volume, and the spaces they occupy, intended for wheelchairs or prams”.
This week bus passengers will be informed of the new measure on board the buses and on the municipal company’s social networks.
Just last week a scooter exploded inside a Madrid Metro carriage, causing a fire.
This has caused Madrid to consider banning scooters on trains and the Metro.
