The project for the future Palma-Llucmajor train line progresses with significant changes to its route following the public consultation and participation process. The newly presented route extends the line by an additional 2.5 km, reaching a total of 30 km, of which 9.95 km will be underground. In terms of mobility, intermodality with the EMT and TIB bus networks has been reinforced, facilitating links between the train and other forms of transport.

With an estimated investment of 811 million euros, the planning includes the award of project designs in 2025, the tendering of works in 2027, the start of construction in 2028, and completion in 2032.
