The City Council of Bell-lloc d'Urgell has called for urgent improvements to the public road transport service from the Metropolitan Transport Authority of Lleida (ATM). The main complaint concerns overcrowded buses on early morning routes to Lleida, leaving many residents unable to board.

The City Council of Bell-lloc d'Urgell has filed a formal complaint with the Metropolitan Transport Authority of Lleida (ATM) to request improvements in the bus service operating in the municipality. The request addresses the issues identified by public transport users, particularly on the early morning journeys towards Lleida.
According to the document, the vehicles operating these initial routes arrive at the Bell-lloc stop already full, on more than one occasion leaving an average of 15 people unable to board. This situation creates significant difficulty for residents who rely on public transport for work or study.

"If we truly believe in public transport, administrations must guarantee its accessibility in terms of both schedules and capacity. Many people need to reach Lleida early in the morning for work or studies, and a solution must be found now."
