ON-DEMAND public transport in Mijas (Málaga province) has been extended from this week, and will now cover out-of-town urbanisations that are not on the conventional bus route.
Councillor for mobility, Nicolás Cruz, says the M-119 and M-223 lines can be 'summoned' by residents without a stop nearby, and the buses will alter their course to cater for them.
