The tram and bus in Alicante are convenient ways to get around the city and its surroundings. If you plan to take the tram/bus in Alicante, here are some things to keep in mind:
- When taking the tram, note that each tram car has a ticket machine. You can buy a ticket after getting on the train. But if you don’t buy a ticket, you may be randomly checked by ticket inspectors. If you are found to not have a ticket, you may be fined 100 euros.
- Some tram stations have ticket machines outside, in which case you can buy a ticket before going through the turnstile. Sometimes on weekends, the tram is free for everyone to use. So if you see the turnstile open, you can just go through without a ticket.
- When taking the bus, you can use a traffic card or pay in cash. If you pay in cash, the driver will give you change.
