Key Points
- Regular buses frequently arrive full, leaving some passengers unable to board.

- Peak work times coincide with school schedules, increasing pressure on services.
- Locals are mobilizing to ask the station and Comú de la Massana to reinstate the worker line.
Residents of Arinsal say regular buses are arriving full and, at times, so overcrowded that not everyone who wants to board can get on, forcing some users to wait for subsequent services. They attribute the problem to the Arinsal station no longer providing a dedicated bus for workers, as was previously customary.
Locals add that typical work start and finish times largely coincide with school schedules, which further increases pressure on the services. Regular bus users hope the absence of a worker-specific shuttle is only temporary.
To prevent further disruptions, some residents are mobilizing to raise the issue with the Arinsal station and the Comú de la Massana. If the dedicated worker line was removed deliberately, they say they will press for it to be reinstated, arguing the change affects both employees and other area residents.
