Why do we get ON a bus, but IN a car?
Answer: When you get into a car, you’re getting directly into your seat. When you get on to a bus, you are walking on to it, then walking to your seat. Same with a plane, boat and train – you’re able to walk around in the space.

Transport in Murcia

The tram

This is the quickest way to get aorund a big part of Murcia. There are many tram stops. The cheapest way to use the tram in to get a bonotram. You put money on it and then you top it up when you need to and then you use it every time you get on it.

You can buy the bonotram at university and at shopping centres.

The tram is the most popular transport with students.

Buses

It’s the most comfortable public transport in the city. It isn’t very expensive and it is very easy to take. There are many lanes which cross the city. If you want to take them, you have two options: You wait at the bus stop or you go to the bus station. Normally, the people pay with cash or use a return ticket.

There are buses that operate all the day from the city centre there are buses to all the town in the region.

Bikes

Hiring bikes isn’t popular in Murcia because there aren’t too many cycle lanes and there aren’t many places to hire them. In addition, bikes are really heavy and uncomfortable. Besides, they aren’t safe to move in town, although it’s the healthiest public transport.

Taxis

Murcia’s white taxis are expensive. When you travel alone they are comfortable and the taxi drivers know Murcia well. They can be quicker than buses. You normally tell the driver where you want to go before you get in a taxi.

Taxis are the safest way to travel.
