How often do buses run between Palma and towns like Soller or Alcudia?

Services along the TIB bus network fluctuate depending on the season and time of day. During the busy summer months, routes to popular destinations such as Alcudia and Pollenca tend to run more frequently, often every 20 to 30 minutes in the daytime. In contrast, winter schedules are scaled back considerably, with buses sometimes running only hourly or less outside peak periods. On weekends and public holidays, it's wise to check the timetable in advance as services may be reduced.

For those relying on public transport to explore beyond Palma, the TIB system remains a reliable choice. Routes on the Ma-13 and Ma-19 roads connect Palma with key spots like Soller, a charming town accessible also via the scenic Soller railway. Some coastal buses serve coves and beaches such as Cala Mondrago or Es Trenc, but frequency can be lower, so advanced planning is advisable. Digital tools provided by TIB and local transit apps help travelers monitor real-time bus arrivals, making it easier to navigate schedules and avoid long waits. Overall, with a bit of preparation, public buses offer an economical and comfortable way to discover the island’s diverse corners.
