Gadmen , the Friends of Environmental Defense, agrees with the Association of Alternative to Rail, the train to Manacor Arta Cala Ratjada, it is important consumer of land project that respects the environment.
The two associations agreed that the train Llevant negative impacts on the territory. Agree on what needs Mallorca public transport, efficient and environmentally friendly, car that is substitutive and consume no more territory. Therefore, both associations reach the same conclusion that the government would opt for a green bus network, connecting the towns than in the most optimal and without destroying more territory. Buses are a more flexible than rail and can be better tailored to seasonal demands.
The train is adequate public transport when you join a very dense population centers and villages. The train is optimal for the territory when the train is full, and the cost of infrastructure and maintenance is justified because the train has many frequencies and is full of passengers. It is not the case in the territory of Llevant de Mallorca, where the population is scattered and the population density does not justify the type of train and public transport.
A Llevant, where has already been invested in roads and ring roads have been made to destroy more territory to give an inflexible train does not make sense because they carry large numbers of passengers. It makes more sense to put a green bus system adapted to the application in size, and ensure a optimal frequencies because a family can do without buying more cars to be able to move.
The price of public transportation is an issue to be addressed. It must promote public transport so that it more economical than private transport. And that is efficient. This means that people can do without buying the car because public transport can get where they need to go (and not just the points where it stops the projected railway.)
A Aumas Llevant buses are neither efficient nor environmentally friendly, and they are expensive. This does not justify putting a train and destroy more land. What you should do is put a green bus network, efficient, economical and with good frequencies that enable people without a car because they come everywhere with a reasonable time.
Public transport in the Mediterranean Islands
Most Mediterranean Islands have no train. Instead there are islands like Menorca and small islands of the Canary Islands, Malta, where people can scroll past by public buses, which are sufficient to promote optimal and sustainable mobility by public transport.
