Are there discounts for children or seniors on public transport with the Palma intermodal card?

Traveling around the island by public transport can be tailored to families and senior travellers through the Palma intermodal card. If you’re exploring the coast or the Tramuntana mountains, this card offers benefits that make getting around more affordable. For younger children, especially those under six, rides are often free when accompanied by an adult, which helps families on tighter budgets enjoy trips to beaches like Es Trenc or cala Mondrago without extra transport costs.

Older children up to 18 usually qualify for reduced fares, though you might need to show proof of age when you purchase or reload the card at Palma’s bus stations or TIB service points. Seniors over 65 also enjoy discounted tickets, making it easier to visit inland towns such as Valldemossa or Manacor without worrying about high transport costs. Some discounts may have restrictions on travel times, so it’s wise to check current policies before planning your journey.

The TIB bus network, along with the Palma metro and the Soller train, all integrate with the intermodal card system, giving you convenient access across the island’s diverse routes from the Ma-13 highway corridor to more remote spots. Carrying valid ID that confirms age can streamline accessing discounts and ensure a hassle-free experience. Utilizing these concessions can turn any itinerary—from a day in Pollenca to an evening enjoying Hierbas in Palma—into a more budget-friendly adventure.
