Public Transport in Alicante | Costasur.com

Public transport in Alicante is quite diverse: trains, taxis, trams.. Do you need to move arounsd or in the city or to our neighbouring towns? On this page you can see which mode of transport best meets your needs.

Public transport in Alicante is very varied and there are various options available to us to move around by road or rail, taxis and trams. By far the cheapest option is the bus, at 1, 15 ? per journey.

Urban and interurban buses. The company Subus is the main company that operates in Alicante and they have various different routes on offer. Each bus number has a specific route, and the routes are either urban (Alicante and town centre) and metropolitan (municipalities close by such as Mutxamel, San vincente...) You can tell them apart by their colour: urban buses are red in colour and the interurban or metropolitan buses are blue.

The buses run every 15 minutes aproximately and the last bus leaves around 22:30 every day. At weekends and fiesta days the buses run all night. These buses go to San Juan beach, el Campello, Mutxamel and San Vincente. They run hourly and the last one leaves at 06:00. This data is approximate because the times vary depending in the line or where we get the bus from. The best advice I can give you is to look at the time table or access the internet page of the bus company to make certain. Taking the bus is a cheap and convenient option, especially if you have a bus stop close to your apartment. Each journey costs 1, 15 ? and there are discount cards available.

Below I will leave information of tge bus lines available and their routes. I have only given information about the routes in one direction but it isn't usually hard to find the bus stop going the other way as it is usually just on the other side of the road. The urban and interurban routes tend to follow the same route going and coming back although sometines they vary a little depending on the one way streets.

Interurban buses. These buses travel to different destinations within Spain and to other Europen countries. You have to reserve your ticket beforehand and they leave from the recently inaugurated bus station.

Tram. The city has 4 different tram lines to move you around.
Line 1 goes from Luceros to Benidorm.
Line 3 also leaves from Luceros but goes as far as Campello.
Line 4 also leaves from Luceros to Plaza La Coruña in Playa San Juan.
Line 4A goes from Puerta del Mar to Sangueta. The tram is a very comfy way to travel, much better really than the bus and also cheap. The only real downside is that at the minute there are only a few lines and therefore it misses a few strategic stops. The tram costs 1, 25 ? per zone and there are also discounts available.

Taxis. There are many taxi ranks dispersed throughout Alicante especially in the central parts such as RENFE, Avenida Alfonso el Sabio or Explanada/Puerta del Mar and also in the various suburbs of Alicante. such as Benalúa, El Pla etc. The minimum fare price is 3 Euros.

Train. From the main RENFE station you can travel to various stations within and without the province.
