Where can I find up-to-date information on the last bus back to my hotel in Mallorca?

Many visitors underestimate how well-connected the island’s public transport network is, assuming buses run infrequently or stop early. However, the TIB regional buses serve most towns and popular spots well into the evening, with schedules published online and at stations. Checking the official TIB website or their app is the most reliable way to know exact timings, especially for the last bus from places like Palma, Soller, or Alcudia back to your accommodation.

Printed timetables are available at main bus stations such as Palma’s intermodal centre, and you can often ask hotel staff for the latest departure times—they’re usually familiar with regular routes and can advise on connections. For rural areas or visits to coves like Cala Mondrago or Formentor, it’s best to confirm schedules ahead of time, as services might be less frequent. The Soller railway and Palma metro also offer useful alternatives if you’re near those routes.

If you’re out late or the bus timetable doesn’t align with your plans, taxis and regional ride services fill in comfortably, though they tend to be pricier than the TIB. Keeping your accommodation’s address handy in Spanish or Catalan helps drivers find you quickly. With a bit of planning, relying on public transport for island travel is both practical and economical, letting you explore without needing a car.
