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?

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

Good Stuff, when is this going to be coming into play? I am heading over in September again, and this will save me a fortune if it's up and running by then.

Brilliant, and dare I say, about time...
