How much does a single ride on the TIB bus cost in Mallorca?

A single ticket on the TIB bus network usually costs a few euros, with prices depending on the length of your journey and the zone you are travelling within. For short trips, such as Palma to nearby towns like Port de Sóller or Inca, fares tend to be modest, but longer routes, like those reaching Alcúdia or Cala Ratjada, may be slightly more expensive. The island’s bus system divides the area into zones, so your fare corresponds to how many zones you cross.

Discounts are available for children, seniors, and students, which can make travel more affordable for families or groups. If you plan on using the TIB buses multiple times during your stay, consider a multi-ride card, which offers savings over paying single fares each time. Tickets can be bought on board with cash, though having small change ready is helpful, as most drivers don’t accept cards.

The TIB buses cover most of Mallorca, from the tramuntana villages like Valldemossa to the north coast beaches near Formentor, making public transport a convenient option to avoid the sometimes narrow and winding roads like the Ma-10. Regular connections from Palma, including the metro and railway to Sóller, link you to this network, allowing easy access to both coastal coves and inland towns. Checking updated routes and fares on the official TIB website is wise, especially during local festivals such as Sant Sebastià, when services may adjust to meet demand.
