Tranvías Eléctricos Interurbanos de Palma 84 – Nov 1970

November 1970 - Tranvías Eléctricos Interurbanos de Palma operated the bus service from Palma to Palma Nova.The company had been a tramway operator in and around the capital until the late 1950s. Bus number 84 was standing at the Palma Nova terminus before returning to the capital. We rode on this bus which had a hole in the floor (about the shape and size of a large egg) which allowed fumes to enter the bus. I read that the company had gone bankrupt around 1972 after which a new business emerged as SALMA (Societat Anònima Laboral Mallorquina d'Autobusos) which was the forerunner of today’s EMT (Empresa Municipal de Transports Urbans de Palma de Mallorca S.A.)
