Card payments on Palma's city buses – relief or nuisance?

Answer

Will older passengers in Palma have problems with the new bus payment system?

The change could be harder for older passengers or occasional riders who do not use contactless cards. Cash is still accepted for now, but the removal of familiar tickets may create uncertainty for people who prefer simple paper products. Better information at stops and in Palma's main transport hubs would make the transition easier.
