Key Points
- Coopalsa reduces bus schedules on lines L2-L7 from April 13 due to lower post-winter demand.
- Adjustments include longer waits, fewer runs on weekends, and targeted service windows.
- Further cuts planned for summer low season, e.g., L3 suspending all-day service.
- Updated timetables available on bus.ad website and Mou-te app.
Andorra's national bus service, operated by Coopalsa, will reduce schedules and frequencies on lines L2 to L7 starting Monday, April 13, to match lower passenger demand during the mid-season period from April to June.
The adjustments follow the winter peak, when tourism and temporary visitors drove record usage, according to the government's Mobility Department. Changes reflect current and expected ridership levels, with further cuts planned for the low season in July and September—for instance, line L3 will suspend all-day service then. Winter months from November to April typically see the fullest network deployment.
Impacted lines include L2 (Andorra la Vella to Encamp), L3 (Andorra la Vella to Soldeu), L4 (Andorra la Vella to Pas de la Casa), L5 (Andorra la Vella to Arinsal), L6 (Andorra la Vella to Ordino), and L7 (Andorra la Vella to Ordino). Full updated timetables are now on the bus.ad website and Mou-te app.
Notable shifts involve off-peak and weekend reductions. Line L2 will extend waits to 12-15 minutes on weekdays (previously 10 minutes in some slots) and 30 minutes on weekends. Line L3 will limit service to targeted morning and afternoon windows, dropping all Sunday runs and adopting 20-minute weekday intervals. Line L4 will hold mostly 30-minute frequencies but eliminate select special services. Line L5 will trim multiple time bands and cancel occasional extras. Line L6 maintains 30-minute intervals, with the nighttime service from La Cortinada now running until 10:10 p.m., though overall periodicity for the night bus will decrease. Line L7 preserves 15-minute weekday peaks and 30-minute weekends.
These changes optimize operations as spring arrives and ski-season crowds fade.
