Barcelona Removes Popular Bus Route From Google Maps

April 18, 2024 at 22:27 EDT By Spencer Howard

The Guardian: "While some places will go to any lengths to attract visitors, residents of La Salut neighbourhood in Barcelona are celebrating a move to wipe themselves off the map."

"Now they have the bus to themselves after the city council arranged to have the route removed from Google and Apple maps."

Points Wire Note:

If you visit Barcelona and plan to use the bus system, make a note that bus number 116 to/from Antoni Gaudí’s Park Güell will not be on Google Maps. As you plan your visit, you might want to make a note of this bus line so you don't forget it.
