Objectives:

1.To insist that the Government of the Illes Balears provides a form of public transport that is fast & safe, with minimum delays, to serve the Levante (East) region of Majorca, centred around Palma and the airport.

2.To avoid wasting public money on the construction of a train that only passes through five population centres, without plans to provide secondary links to these centres.

3.Propose that Manacor station is connected by buses to the East, linking to the train to provide a connection to Palma and that they double the Manacor – Palma service to provide faster and more frequent travel.

4.Secure a fast, flexible, efficient and socially acceptable form of public transport that connects all the population centres of the east, a somewhat sparsely populated area.

5.Propose ways to use existing infrastructures to their maximum capacity, without having to build new ones.

6.To promote the incorporation and use of the TIC to optimize resources, analyze demand in real time and to maximize coverage.

7. Avoid the construction of new transport infrastructuras which would destroy the growth and possibilities of the affected zones and causing the depopulation of zones that are not reconstructed.

8.Avoid the construction of new infrastructures that would destroy the character of the affected villages and towns.

9.Prove that improvement to existing services will serve the public better than new infrastructures built without proper planning or execution.
