Passengers travelling between Málaga city and the Axarquía have 59 more daily bus services from Monday, 26 October. The expansion covers routes linking the city with Rincón de la Victoria, Los Rubios, Torre del Mar and Vélez-Málaga.,The total number of daily services on the affected connections has risen from 386 to 445. The additions are intended to improve capacity, particularly at busy times, as passenger numbers have grown.,Torre del Mar receives the largest increase, with 22 additional services a day. Vélez-Málaga gets 14 more, Rincón de la Victoria 12 and Los Rubios 11.,The reported increases correspond to 19 per cent for Torre del Mar, 23.7 per cent for Vélez-Málaga, 7.3 per cent for Rincón de la Victoria and 23.9 per cent for Los Rubios.,The service expansion follows complaints about overcrowding on the corridor. Some passengers have reportedly found buses full when they arrive at stops, forcing them to wait for another service. The additional journeys are intended to bring capacity closer to demand, though it is not yet clear whether they will resolve those waits.,Passenger numbers have also been supported by Vélez-Málaga joining the Málaga Metropolitan Transport Consortium’s integrated fare system on 1 May. The change allowed travellers to use integrated, discounted fares, according to the discovery report.,Passengers should check current routes and timetables with the Málaga Metropolitan Transport Consortium before setting out, as the available material does not provide individual departure times or specify how the new journeys are distributed across the day.
