Can I pay for bus and train rides with a credit card in Mallorca?

In Mallorca, you can generally pay for bus and train rides with a credit card, but it's important to check the specific transportation provider's payment policies. The island's public transport system, including buses and trains, has been increasingly modernized, and many services now accept credit cards for tickets. However, it’s a good idea to have some cash on hand, especially for smaller bus routes or local services, where card payment options may not always be available.

For the major public transport operators, such as the TIB (Transports de les Illes Balears) buses and the Mallorca Train service, you can purchase tickets at ticket machines and counters that typically accept credit cards. Additionally, many of the buses have ticket machines on board, though these may only accept cash. If you’re planning to explore the island extensively, consider looking into a transport card, which can offer convenience and savings, and these are often available for purchase with a credit card. Just remember to always check the latest information before you travel, as policies can change.
