Renfe's plan to partner with a bus company to provide alternative transportation during train network disruptions has caused a rift within Confebus, the main Spanish bus sector association. Smaller bus companies fear the partnership will favor larger companies like Avanza and Alsa, threatening their survival. Confebus president Rafael Barbadillo publicly opposed the initiative, requesting Renfe to halt the project, a move that has upset both the larger companies within Confebus and the Ministry of Transport. This disagreement highlights the internal divisions within Confebus, which represents both large national companies and smaller regional operators, exposing conflicting interests and priorities within the sector.
