PALMA’S excellent public transport system is no secret, and now it is being recognised by experts in the national transport industry.

Representatives from Palma public transport system (EMT) shared their expertise at a transport congress organised by national motoring body, the DGT in Valladolid on Friday, February 3. Palma City Council and representatives from the EMT joined professionals from 164 other towns and cities in the country who are aspiring to develop more healthy and sustainable transport systems.

Representatives from the EMT were asked to speak about their experiences in reclaiming street space for pedestrians at the conference in an attempt to encourage other cities in the country to follow suit.

Palma councillor for Public Transport, Francesc Dalmau was a speaker at the event and highlighted action taken in recent years saying, “We are the eighth largest city in the country, so needed to take decisive action.” He encouraged other areas to develop sustainable transport systems, saying “We need a national agreement” to develop sustainable public transport options.
