Record Passengers on the M-167 Line
The M-167 line, which connects Málaga, Alhaurín el Grande, and Coín, has reached a significant milestone with 19,127 monthly passengers. This increase is due to service improvements that began on 14 October, when six additional trips were added.
This rise in demand reflects a year-on-year growth of 118.63%, demonstrating the success of the new measures implemented by the Metropolitan Transport Consortium of the Málaga Area.
Statements from the Territorial Delegate
María Rosa Morales, territorial delegate for Housing, Youth, Land Use, Promotion, and Mobility in Málaga, has highlighted this data as a sign of the Andalusian Government's commitment to promoting sustainable public transport in the province. Morales stated that "the citizens of the Guadalhorce region and Málaga demand a competitive, reliable public transport service tailored to their real daily commuting needs."
Morales also recalled the evolution of this line since its inception in early 2024. In its first month of operation, only 580 passengers were recorded, a figure that has significantly increased in recent months, multiplying demand by 33.
The Metropolitan Transport Consortium continues to work on optimizing intercity connections and adjusting frequencies, consolidating a quality service that encourages the use of public transport over private vehicles.
