Formentera strike halves buses, Ibiza sets minimum cover
Formentera’s regular buses run at 50% of their scheduled service on Wednesday as a general strike affects public services. Eight trips in each direction are planned between the port of La Savina and La Mola. On Ibiza, the Ibiza Island Council has set minimum staffing to keep essential services available, though it warns that some may not run as usual.
School buses keep running
All scheduled school bus journeys on Formentera will go ahead. Coaches carrying passengers to and from ferry connections will run 40% of their planned trips, while taxis will provide a minimum service of 10.67%.
Council offices and other services
Formentera’s council says its offices will stay open on Wednesday. Two nursery heads and six educators will cover minimum staffing at its nurseries. Vehicle inspections, the citizen service office, the day centre, the residential home and the fire service will also have minimum cover.
Waste collection staff employed by PreZero will work at 50% of normal staffing. One person in charge will be present for a full shift at the Es Cap de Barbaria waste transfer facility.
On Ibiza, minimum cover extends to social services, the women’s advice office, child protection, residential centres and nurseries. Vehicle inspections and the registration office are also covered, along with services tied to safety, emergencies and the upkeep of public facilities. The island council says essential help will remain available, but not every service will operate normally.
