More Breaks, More Safety: Why Mallorca's Bus Drivers Now Receive Scheduled Break Minutes

Answer

Why are TIB bus drivers in Mallorca now getting scheduled break minutes?

Some TIB drivers in Mallorca who do not use a tachograph are now being given two scheduled 15-minute breaks in their duty rosters. The idea is to reduce fatigue and improve safety during long or crowded shifts. The change comes after negotiations between the union, operators and the island transport authority.
