Barcelona bus route removed from map apps to tackle tourist overcrowding

This is incredible, in that it breaks the "you should be able to find all relevant information online" paradigm. One would assume if Google has info about the publicly accessible bus network, it would have info about ALL the buses, but now we know it doesn't.

I remember being in Lisbon when there were transport worker strikes. Somehow the buses/trams I wanted still came, maybe less regularly (I didn't know since I'm not a local). But googling for a "current" route would give me obscure instructions like "Walk many kms to the train station" (trains were still running). But if I changed my departure date to several months in the future on Google Maps it would tell me the regular (strike-free) route and to go around the corner and wait for bus number xyz. I wonder if the Barcelonans could just say the bus 116 is on strike until 2099 or similar...
