Balearic Islands over 1.25 million — How prepared is Mallorca really?

Answer

How crowded is public transport in Mallorca now?

Public transport is feeling the growth, especially on busy routes such as the Inca–Palma line during peak hours. More passengers and more year-round residents mean buses and trains can stay full for longer. The effect is not the same everywhere, but commuting in and around Palma is clearly under more strain.
