Answer
Why is the Tren de Sóller so expensive for visitors?
The Tren de Sóller has high fares because it is costly to maintain and run, especially on a historic line with tunnels, stations and overhead lines that need regular work. The current pricing also appears to place more of the cost on day-trippers from Palma than on shorter local trips.
