Lines 3 and 30, which link downtown Tarragona with La Canonja and pass through neighborhoods like Bonavista and Torreforta, will be entirely managed and funded by the local council. This change follows new economic conditions imposed by Tarragona City Council.
Although inter-municipal mobility is the responsibility of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government), La Canonja had assumed a significant portion of the cost for these lines over the past 15 years, inherited from the period when it was annexed to Tarragona. This financial effort cost approximately 600,000 euros in 2025.
“"We do not renounce public transport or the connection with Tarragona. We defend the interests of our municipality and assume responsibilities that do not belong to us, but we do so with criteria of economic sustainability."
Effective 2026, Tarragona voids the current agreement, transferring the total cost to La Canonja, with a potential annual impact exceeding 1.6 million euros. To make the service viable, the council has chosen to guarantee continuity by slightly adjusting the frequency, resulting in a projected final cost of 1.2 million euros.
La Canonja City Council has reiterated its commitment to continue working to find fair and stable solutions that ensure dignified mobility and, if possible, improve the connection with Tarragona in the future.
