Bus

There are two kind of busses:

Urban Buses (EMT Palma) – These buses operate within Palma and nearby areas.

Intercity Buses (TIB) – These yellow and red buses connect Palma with the rest of the island.

You can buy a ticket:

Pay directly on the bus (cash or contactless card).
Use the EMT Palma mobile app for digital tickets.

Bus stops are marked with blue signs showing route numbers and schedules. You can check live timetables on the EMT Palma website or their app. To stop the bus, press the red button before your stop.

Taxi

You can request a taxi from the front desk of your accommodation or restaurant. You may also wait for a taxi at the taxi rank.

Before you get in the taxi, you must inform the driver of your direction. Ask the taxi driver to activate the Taximeter, and when you reach your destination, you pay the amount of the ride which is indicated on the screen. Additionally, you and the taxi driver can agree on an amount to pay before getting in the taxi. You can pay with cash. If you need a receipt, remember to ask the driver if it is possible to get it, before the ride starts.
