Palma bus use falls 1.9% as metro climbs 3.9%
Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
Palma, Mallorca, records 5.8 million bus passengers in September, but bus use falls 1.9% from a year earlier. The metro moves the other way: its 240,000 passengers mark a 3.9% increase over the same month last year.
Spain’s National Statistics Institute published the figures on 12 November 2026. Across the Spanish regions for which it reports bus data, use rises everywhere except Extremadura, where it falls 6%, and Madrid, where it drops 3.8%. Asturias records the largest increase, at 12.5%.
There is no equivalent figure for bus use across the Balearic Islands as a whole. The institute does not publish that regional total in order to protect statistical confidentiality.
