Answer
Where does last-mile transport matter most in Palma?
Last-mile transport matters most on trips where the bus stop is still too far from the final destination or where transfers take too long. In Palma, that can be a problem for commuters, shoppers and families moving between several stops. Better bike stations, micro-shuttles and safer connections would make public transport easier to use.
