New Palma–Calvià Rail Link: Beacon of Hope or Costly Mammoth Project?

Answer

How would a new rail line in Mallorca fit into the existing transport network?

The project would need good links with buses, parking options and space for bicycles if it is to work properly. Without easy transfers, passengers are less likely to switch from car to train. A rail line is most effective when it is part of a wider transport system, not an isolated route.
