Is there a mobile app I can use to track public bus arrivals and departures on Mallorca?

Tracking bus arrivals on the island has become much easier thanks to reliable mobile apps tailored to local public transport. The official TIB (Transport de les Illes Balears) app is your best bet for real-time updates on buses that connect towns like Palma, Alcudia, and Pollenca, as well as the coastal routes to beaches such as Es Trenc and Cala Mondrago. It offers live arrival times, route maps, and service alerts across Mallorca's extensive TIB network, making it ideal for planning your journeys whether you’re commuting into Palma or exploring more remote areas around the Serra de Tramuntana.

Additionally, widely used apps like Moovit and Google Maps include Mallorca’s bus schedules and give step-by-step navigation, which is especially helpful for tourists unfamiliar with the Ma-13 and Ma-19 roads. They can notify you of delays, suggest alternative routes, and show nearby stops for the Palma metro or the historic Soller railway. While the Soller train has its own timetable, these tools help you integrate it with bus connections effortlessly.

Beyond these, local websites often recommend checking out apps that highlight cultural events such as Sant Sebastià in Palma or the Festa de l'Ametler in Soller, since special services and temporary bus routes can pop up around festivals. Having one of these apps installed will save you time waiting at stops and offer peace of mind when navigating between the island’s towns, coves, and mountain villages.
