The decision follows a formal request from the Cerdanya County Council to the Department of Territory. The plan includes the immediate launch of a direct bus service between Puigcerdà and Barcelona to provide a faster and more sustainable alternative to private cars.
“"If we do not offer a reliable public transport alternative to an R3 line that does not work, people have no choice but to take the car."
Currently, residents face travel times of over six hours and costs reaching 42.45 euros for a round trip to the capital. The new integrated fare system is expected to lower prices and improve daily mobility for students and local workers who currently struggle with limited weekend-focused services.
