More buses, same jams: Palma's traffic stuck in a dilemma

Answer

Is Palma bus travel enough to reduce car traffic on its own?

No, not by itself. Full buses are a positive sign, but they do not clear congestion unless they are part of a broader transport strategy that also makes driving less convenient and public transport faster and more reliable. Without that, many drivers will keep using the car for longer trips into and across the city.
