      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/2c344a5c-af1d-43e2-a703-01270c12581f_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The Train Users Association strongly criticized the elimination of the 'Move Well' bike-sharing service, a decision it considers "unjustified" and which, in its view, represents a further obstacle to promoting the use of public transport in Mallorca. The association regrets the removal of a service that facilitated mobility for travelers arriving in Palma, especially those who need to travel from the Intermodal Station to their final destination. According to the association, the service's withdrawal contradicts European recommendations to reduce private vehicle use and promote rail travel to combat climate change. They point out that more than 100,000 cars enter Palma every day and more than 300,000 travel on the ring road, while the train registers around 11,000 daily users. "Eliminating incentives like 'Move Well' does not help to reverse this trend," they warn. The organization also denounces that the Mallorca Rail Service is operating at its limit, with structural deficiencies that prevent increased frequencies, reduced journey times, and service reinforcement due to staff shortages. Furthermore, they lament the progressive loss of services and attention to stations, many of which have been left without staff and with fewer amenities for passengers. Regarding the proposed alternative, the BiciPalma service, users believe it does not fulfill the same function, as it is not free for public transport passengers, is not designed for occasional users, and is not accessible to everyone. In this sense, they conclude that the elimination of the 'Mou-te bé' service is part of a trend toward the "dehumanization" of the service and a lack of a clear commitment to making public transport more attractive compared to the current model based on private vehicles. </p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>When the news of the train to Sa Pobla arrived, we were unaware of the summer that awaited us. That's life. If the study and the train layout had been carried out with care and sensitivity toward the people and the territory, surely no one would have said much, but no, that wasn't the case. Two red lines crisscrossed and ruthlessly dissected the flat lands of Marjal. At any price? We said no on the first day. The Government hadn't brought us the train we needed; it had presented us with what it wanted us to have. No one from the Directorate General for Mobility or the SFM, during this term, was interested enough to conduct a review and realize the dangers this study entailed. The paradox is that the work was contracted to Ayesa in January 2023, incredible but true.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>These days of fighting against this train-like train they want to impose on us, I've thought a lot about my mother and father. I suppose the same thing happens to you. Their worries, their dreams, that extreme work from dawn to dusk. Their determination to get ahead, to float. Hours and hours of work and suffering... often just to survive and be able to pay four bills. What would they say if they were alive? I believe, I am convinced, that we draw strength from their memory and their legacy. Cati Mayol wrote a phrase on the Civic Platform's Facebook page, which says: "This group was born from the love for their land and the urgent need to protect what we are." With a single phrase, she captured the essence of the world we believe in and that sustains us. Don't give up... together we can stop this madness.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>There are many public campaigns promoting local produce, both for farmers and for the value of the land. Just this week, the Catalan government unveiled the logo for local produce. There's a public discourse in favor of zero kilometers, for the countryside, and for the landscape, but reality shows that it's not moving in that direction.</p>]]></description>

Once across the bridge, one of the options, Maristany, like the Sant Miquel torrent, becomes part of the official scope of the PORN of the Albufera. </p>]]></description>

The project is to replace the railway project with a tram, "since it would destroy less land and its impact would be less." The goal is to "preserve all the properties and land" possible. The platform is calling for public transport that is "as non-aggressive as possible." "For hundreds of years." As a short-term alternative, they propose increasing the frequency of buses between Sa Pobla and Alcudia. "The land," they add. </p>]]></description>
