Are there any other common abbreviations used on buses and taxis in Mallorca?

In Mallorca, public transportation, including buses and taxis, often uses common abbreviations to simplify route names and service information. One frequent abbreviation is "EMT," which stands for "Empresa Municipal de Transportes," referring to the municipal transport services. For bus routes, you might also encounter abbreviations based on local landmarks or destinations, such as "A" for "Aeropuerto" (Airport) or specific numbers that represent designated routes.

Additionally, taxi services typically utilize "Taxi" followed by a code for the specific area or service they represent. The taxis in Mallorca generally have a lighted "TAXI" sign on the roof, indicating they are available for hire. Overall, while the usage of abbreviations is prevalent in the transit system, most public transport signage is bi-lingual, appearing in both Catalan and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for both locals and tourists.
