For everyone who wants to get in on the Formentera Flower fun this Saturday, or check out the concerts this Tuesday and Wednesday at Sant Francesc's plaça de la Constitució, a dedicated bus service provide public transport between Sant Francesc and other towns and central points on the island.

In the words of mobility secretary Rafael González, the special service is intended for islanders and tourists “who want to enjoy the festivities without having to get behind the wheel”. He also heralded an additional effect—fewer traffic accidents.
