This measure, the result of a technical analysis by the Operations department with the participation of train drivers and operations inspectors, responds to the need to update timetables that were designed in a different context and, according to SFM, no longer reflect the operational reality of the network. The adjustments are based on real data collected over the last six months and have taken into account various factors, such as the bridge replacement works on Calle del Greco, near the Verge de Lluc station (Palma), increased train occupancy, changes in speed and timing, single-track sections, and stations experiencing growing passenger demand. </p>]]></description>

Both partygoers and regular train users experienced the overcrowding of a public transport system that this summer not only reduced special services for <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/culture/history/origins-and-history-of-much-one-of-the-most-famous-neofestas-in-mallorca_130_5467200.html" target="_blank">this neo-party</a>, 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.</p>]]></description>

"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."</p>]]></description>
