The state of the Rodalies service has once again become a point of contention following the viralization of a tweet seeking information on how to travel from Granollers to Manlleu. The official response highlighted the service's complexity and shortcomings, necessitating up to three trains and two buses to complete a journey of less than sixty kilometers.
“"You have to go to Sants, from there take the train to Fabra i Puig, connect by bus to La Garriga and continue the journey to Vic, then take another bus to Manlleu."
Currently, Rodalies line R3 is suspended between L'Hospitalet and La Garriga due to works. Additionally, another closure between Vic and Torelló, scheduled until June 22nd, affects the Ges bridge. These circumstances compel users to seek complex alternatives.
One proposed alternative involves taking a bus from Granollers – Canovelles to La Garriga, continuing by train to Vic, and then another bus to Manlleu. A more direct option suggests using two buses: one from Sagalés between Granollers and Vic, followed by a RENFE bus to Manlleu.
Rodalies' response has triggered an avalanche of criticism, jokes, and memes on social media, with users expressing their frustration over the service's deficiencies and the complicated travel arrangements.
