The Bus Nàutic Palma moves forward: two companies opt to manage it as a sustainable transport

The TUI and UTE German tour operator formed by Sercomisa (Trasmpai), ALSA and Blue Boats are the same companies that opt for getting the new maritime public transport Bus Nàutic Palma.

The initiative of the Balearics Portuary Authority (APB) aims for connecting different spots of the port of Palma and offering an alternative of sustainable mobility that contributes to improving accessibility, reducing land transport and reinforcing the port-city relation.

The Bus Nàutic Palma is settled inside the Movility Plan developed by the APB in the remodeling of the Maritime promenade.

The project will have a minimum of three lines and an initial fleet of at least four ships of low emissions with capacity for 100 passengers each one. The main stops will be situated in the Maritime Station number 6 of the West dam, the East quay, the Golondrinas quay, Portitxol and the royal stairs of the Lonja’s quay. The service will work every day from seven in the morning to ten at night, amplifying its schedule until midnight on the weekends.

The Bus Nàutic Palma will be integrated inside a wider mobility plan that wants to transform the port-city space into a more accessible and sustainable area for pedestrians and cyclists.

This APB initiative, alongside the recent starting service of a new circular line of the EMT along the Maritime promenade supposes a change of paradigma in the public mobility for this artery of the city, whose transformation boosts the pacification of the traffic and returns the space to pedestrians.
