    The bus routes that extend out from the centre of Palma around the shores of the bay can get very crowded. Although they use modern 'bendy buses', which seem to depart at least every 10 minutes on workdays and public holidays and Sundays, it is often difficult to get the space to sit down.

    With such a linear settlement pattern, and large numbers of non-car owning customers (tourists) the place is crying out for an effective tram system along the front.

    I've seen things mooted in the local english-language newspaper but any development is probably a few years off yet.

    UPDATE : NOV 2007 - it seems to be back on the agenda again, what with the new Metro line out to the university about to open. A scaled down affair might be just around the corner.

  • The internet widely advises getting the no.17 bus to Palma, we found this to be incorrect.
    Bus No. 1 goes from the airport to Palma every 15-20 minutes throughout the day.
    It costs less than 2 euros and if you are staying at the Hotel Horizonte I think it stops at the bottom of the hill.
    I made the mistake of getting off in Palma as I had read that this terminated near the train station, we then had to catch a taxi.

  • The local bus service is excellent around the southern resorts only and not for further destinations. They are commuting regularly . It is more comfortable to take a public transport and most advisable.

    By Bus: Trips to Palma, the caves etc.-no problems!

  • We stayed in Cala Millor, and it took us only 1 h 15 min to get to Palma for a day visit. The buses were on time and air-conditioned. Price return was 13 euros per person, which is far better than 65 euros one way by taxi. The bus to the Cuevas del Drach (Dragon caves) was also almost on time, and it took us just over 20 minutes to get there, cost- 1.60 euros one way. All in all, the buses are reliable, frequent and comfortable.

    Departs from Palma: 05:30am to 01:00am.

    The Palma Airport Bus stops along the route at these stops.
