Vueling carries nearly a million passengers each year between Menorca and Barcelona, ​​but is cutting its flight frequencies because it claims the numbers don't add up. Even so, the route carries three times the traffic of the other busiest routes to Menorca Airport: Palma and Madrid, which handle close to 390,000 and 380,000 passengers, respectively. Both routes are maintained during the winter thanks to a subsidy from the Ministry of Transport, which declared them Public Service Obligations (PSOs) to guarantee the minimum necessary frequencies. Now, the unexpected reduction in connectivity with Barcelona—up to 36% compared to last year—has reignited the debate. Is the PSO the solution to protect the most essential air connection for Menorcans?

The journey to the Much de Sineu train station became a stifling experience for many travelers this Monday. Both partygoers and regular train users experienced the overcrowding of a public transport system that this summer not only reduced special services for this neo-party, but the usual service frequencies are considerably reduced, and they have weekend schedules (with exceptions). The situation has led to complaints about overcrowding and heat, with crowded platforms and passengers almost rushing in.

The Mallorca Railway Services Works Council (SFM) has issued a statement expressing its "full" support. to train users, which in recent days have suffered delays, congestion, frequency cuts, and an alarming lack of information, "a consequence of incidents, breakdowns, and poorly planned construction work." "Situations like those experienced last Wednesday and Friday reflect a chronic lack of coordination, where decisions are made from offices without consulting either employees or users," the Committee emphasized in its letter, noting that the result is "an overwhelmed service, with constant improvisation and poor management."
