Answer

Can bus drivers in Mallorca take away a suspicious resident card?

No. Drivers on Mallorca’s TIB network are not allowed to seize cards or force identity checks on their own, and serious inspections usually require police involvement. That means their role is mostly to observe, report and keep the service moving.
