Alicante - Airport - Torrevieja public transport system

This new transport service will start in the future Alicante Station and end at the Torrevieja Hospital, and will stop at el Altet (airport), Santa Pola, Guardamar and Torrevieja.

The Spanish Official Gazette (BOE) has published the adjudication of the public transport system report for the reserved platform Alicante-Airport-Torrevieja to the company Initec Infraestructuras S.A., for a concession amount of 396,000 Euros.

This new transport service will start in the future Alicante Station and end at the Torrevieja Hospital, and will stop at el Altet, Santa Pola, Guardamar and Torrevieja.

The city of Torrevieja will have a first stop at Torrelamata, and will finish at the Hospital.

This transport system will operate with electric engines to offer a high quality service for the whole Alicante southern area. They are guided buses, similar to the TRAM, but include the possibility of combining railways with road stretches.

The direct transport service to the Altet airport from the city of Torrevieja has always been claimed by the citizens, as there are many residents and tourists, mainly foreigners, coming to Torrevieja through the Alicante airport.

About time, this transport link is long overdue. but your item just says future plans. How long in the future?

Andrew Westacott on 14 November, 2008 03:54:42

Amazing!!!
Imagine jumping off a plane and catching a train that takes your directly to Torrevieja???
Then a short taxi ride, walk or friends to pick you up at the train station, sounds good to me.
But lets wait for the sad, miserable people who'll find something to critisize about it!!!

Torrevieja para siempre!!

At long last, the vested interests of the taxi drivers have been over-ridden. Sooner it starts the better!

At last! I hope this will go ahead soon. I look forward to being able to reach Alicante airport by public transport, rather than paying exhorbitant fares for private taxis or relying on friends to collect me.

Hi

I would love details of when the new service starts. We always hire a car so this could save some pennies. However, it would be the icing on the cake if the bus service went on to the bus station in Torrey

tapsa on 20 September, 2009 09:10:27

typical spanish - just an idea, a dream ! why dont they simply open a conventional bus line ???

julie on 20 October, 2009 06:06:25

This is a great idea! where could i check the timetable? Please send me the url. thanks

Jim on 02 November, 2009 01:12:22

As this has only been announced a year ago it will be at least 2013 before it's in use. You just can't build a tram line overnight!
Also it's more of a trollybus than tram.

winnie morley on 19 November, 2009 10:39:40

This sounds fab, can you take luggage on and can you take cases on the normal busses in Torre. how much will the fare be?

james brown on 24 December, 2009 12:33:26

just read about new bus service from airport to torrevieja,although its now over a year old, can you tell me if the sevice is going to start and when.
thanks
jim brown

Keith Miller on 31 December, 2009 05:46:23

Has anybody got any idea yet when this service is due to start....if ever? it's been needed for quite some time.

Bill Tobin on 05 January, 2010 12:43:55

I visited Torrevieja September 2008 and stayed at the Hotel Cabo Cervera and got a taxi from Alicante to the hotel. I am planning to stay 2 weeks this comming September and would be interested to know if the bus service has started from the airport to Torrevieja. Thanking you. Yours Sincerely Bill Tobin(London)

jen on 08 January, 2010 09:09:00

So I guess it still hasn't happened then?

Tania on 17 January, 2010 01:18:00

Hope this starts before the summer. Any more news yet??

Lawrence Hartley on 24 January, 2010 11:06:23

I'm only guessing but I reckon it'll be ages yet. You can bet the station is part of the new complex with all the cranes being built next to the Airport.
Might be wrong though!
