Answer
How hot weather affects bus travel in Mallorca during summer?
Heat makes bus disruptions feel worse in Mallorca because passengers often have to wait in exposed stops with little shade. Delays also become more stressful when buses are crowded, air-conditioned vehicles are stuck in traffic, or information arrives late. On hot days, even a short disruption can feel much longer.
