Answer

Will the new rail line in Mallorca actually reduce traffic?

It could help if enough commuters, clinic visitors and tourists choose the train instead of driving. That depends on reliable schedules, good connections and stations that are easy to use. Without those details, a rail line may not take many cars off the road.
