Metro to Son Espases: Tunnel or Branch? Palma's tricky transport decision

Answer

What is the difference between the tunnel option and the Son Castelló branch for Son Espases?

The tunnel option would run directly from Palma's Eixample to Son Espases, but it would be technically more complex because it passes through densely built-up areas. The branch option would extend from the existing M1 line in Son Castelló, which appears simpler and quicker to build.
