Catalonia regional bus service developments
Overview
New public bus services were recently introduced in the Segarra and Priorat regions of Catalonia to enhance local connectivity. In Segarra, a new line began operating between Guissona and Cervera with hourly weekday departures, supported by annual funding from the Department of Territory, Housing, and Ecological Transition. In Priorat, a trial service was launched to connect various municipalities, specifically targeting the needs of students and families traveling to Falset.
However, the expansion of regional transport has faced criticism regarding existing routes. The movement Ara Igualada has reported significant issues with the bus service connecting Igualada and Barcelona. Users have cited recurring delays, mechanical breakdowns, and poor vehicle conditions, including damaged windows and leaking air conditioning. Representatives Xavi Grados and Alícia Fernández have called for structural improvements, including increased frequency, expanded weekend and night services, and a more effective control system for the service concession.
