Sexual assault at the Intermodal: What the incident reveals about safety and accessibility in Palma

Answer

Why are disabled travellers more vulnerable in public transport spaces?

People with disabilities can be more exposed in places where they need extra time, assistance or privacy, because that can make them easier to target. Busy stations can also be difficult to navigate when sightlines are poor or staff are not immediately present. That is why accessible design, clear support routes and trained staff matter so much in places like Palma's Intermodal.
