Residents welcome removal of number 116 route, often used to get to Park Güell
For years, residents had complained that they could not get home because the number 116 bus is always crammed with tourists visiting Antoni Gaudí’s Park Güell. The park is the city’s second most popular attraction after the Sagrada Familia basilica.
“We laughed at the idea at first,” said César Sánchez, a local activist. “But we’re amazed that the measure has been so effective.” Albert Batlle, the deputy mayor of security and coexistence on the city council, said that as well as improving mobility around Park Güell, “we needed to eliminate references to the 116 on the internet”.
