Olesa Seeks More Frequent TGO Bus Service
The Ajuntament d'Olesa de Montserrat has formally requested an increase in bus frequency on the TGO route connecting Olesa and Terrassa. Mayor Marc Serradó confirmed the council had raised the issue with TGO management this week, citing repeated complaints from residents about insufficient service. Residents have asked for more frequent departures, weekend operations, and a review of stops in Vacarisses that they say prolong journey times. Serradó also highlighted demands for better real-time information on service disruptions and the ability to carry bicycles on board. As the service is managed by the Generalitat, the council plans to escalate its proposals to the regional transport authority. Olesa officials are also considering coordinating with Terrassa to present a joint request for improvements.
Terrassa and Castellar Back Direct Bus Revival
Meanwhile, Terrassa's city council has unanimously approved a motion calling for the restoration of a direct bus link between Terrassa and Castellar del Vallès. The route, which previously served the residential areas of Can Font and Ca n’Avellaneda, was discontinued by the Generalitat despite connecting two municipalities just 10 kilometres apart. The proposal, led by the governing coalition TxT and Junts, urges the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition to prioritise the route in upcoming phases of the interurban bus improvement plan. The council argues the revival would require no new infrastructure, only the deployment of suitable vehicles and reasonable timetables. According to official data cited by Terrassa’s authorities, over 7,000 daily journeys are made between the two towns on weekdays. Currently, public transport users must combine TGO bus lines C1 or C3 with the R4 Rodalies train via Sabadell, resulting in travel times exceeding one hour.
"Today it’s practically impossible to travel without a car in a reasonable time,"
, Xavier Cardona, Deputy Mayor of Terrassa The call has strong local backing. Residents of Castellar have been demanding a direct connection since 2001, with repeated appeals to the Generalitat going unheeded, according to a commentary published by L’Actual on 10 September 2026. The current alternative, a demand-responsive taxi service operated by Castellar since 2013, is limited to weekdays and requires 24-hour advance booking. The push for better connectivity comes amid broader regional scrutiny of transport policy, with Terrassa also challenging cuts to overnight ambulance units. Council leaders stress that restoring the direct bus link would meet long-standing community needs without major investment.
