Igualada City Council has formally asked the Catalan government for bus service improvements in Igualada and the wider Conca d'Òdena area. The request was sent to the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition after the government announced a €21.5 million emergency plan for bus services and transport concessions.
The council says the changes are needed to improve public transport access and frequency for residents. It argues that stronger bus links are important for daily travel and regional mobility in central Catalonia.
The municipal proposal focuses on more routes, better service frequency and stronger integration with existing transport networks. According to the council, the aim is a more reliable bus system for local users.
The Catalan government's plan is intended to improve bus services across Catalonia, including fleet upgrades and route changes. It also includes extending transport concessions as part of the wider transport strategy.
Igualada City Council now expects a response from the department on its specific requests. Any talks are likely to focus on how the city's proposals fit into the broader transport improvements planned across Catalonia.
