Several municipalities in the Maresme region, including Canet de Mar, Arenys de Munt, and Arenys de Mar, are calling for a direct bus service to Barcelona. This initiative aims to provide an alternative to the train, which is currently the only direct public transport link, according to Diari Catalunya.
The demand comes as residents seek more diverse and potentially more reliable transport options for commuting to the Catalan capital. The current reliance on a single mode of transport can lead to significant disruptions when train services face delays or cancellations.
Improving Regional Connectivity
Officials from the affected towns have highlighted the need for improved connectivity for their residents. A direct bus route would not only offer an alternative during train service issues but could also serve areas less conveniently located near train stations.
This proposal reflects a broader regional desire to enhance public transport infrastructure, ensuring that communities outside major urban centres have efficient access to key destinations like Barcelona. Discussions are expected to continue between local councils and transport authorities to evaluate the feasibility and implementation of such a service.
