It has been a long time coming but after what seems like a lifetime of requests it appears that at long last there will be a bus service established between Alicante airport, El Altet, and the city of Torrevieja. The announcement was made last week by the mayor of Torrevieja Pedro Hernández Mateo and councillor Tomas Arenas. The mayor said that the Valencian parliament has approved a draft resolution establishing the route and a new regular service between the two points. There will now be a period of public consultation where interested parties can make their comments before a final decision is taken.
The service has long been argued for with Torrevieja being a popular tourist destination particularly for foreign visitors and residents arriving at Alicante. It is intended that the new service will operate 365 days a year with 12 round trips daily between the two points. The route that has been suggested is not that of the N332 coastal route but that of the AP7 motorway on the grounds that travel times should be more predictable especially during the busy summer period when traffic congestion is high along the coast road. It would also be an express coach with no additional stops between the airport and Torrevieja.
No decision appears to have been reached on the exact times of the service but the mayor said they will be arranged to coincide with the busiest and most appropriate flights arriving at and departing from the airport. One newspaper has quoted the price for each trip to be around seven euros which seems to be amazingly good value but a final price would depend on who was awarded the contract and the conditions that are attached to it. It is intended that the service will operate between 7.30 am and 10.30pm in the winter months but be extended to midnight during the summer. When questioned about the start date for this new service the mayor was unable to say for certain but hoped it might be in place for the early summer this year but emphasised that it depended on regional administration.

great news, sounds like someone's finally listened
what I'm not sure of though is the route, surely the n332 is the obvious one despite the traffic probs as most urbs are along it and many after torre
so surely a multi-stop n332 route would be the most profitable and effective, to at least cabo roig and possiblly beyond
