If you live in Alicante, it is necessary to get a traffic card. The traffic card is charged by the number of times it is used and can be obtained at the TAM office in the city center of Alicante. There are two recharge options: 8.7 euros for 10 times or 26 euros for 30 times. To use it, simply swipe the card when you take public transport. If you are under 30 years old, you can consider buying a youth card; if you are over 65, you can consider buying an elderly card, which will give you more discounts.
You can get a traffic card at the TAM office in the city center. It’s easy to find this office, just look for the TAM sign. Once inside, tell the staff that you need to get a Mobilis card and how many times you want to charge it. Note that this card is not registered, so it is not advisable to charge it too much at once in case it is lost and causes a heavy loss. If you forget to bring your card, you can also buy a ticket directly on the bus.
