Menorca Bus Guide - Routes,Ticket Prices, Journey Planner



Free buses on Menorca?

NO only for residents.

While improved bus company websites can still be frustrating for Holiday visitors as they are focus ( naturally ) on local names. Journeys involving routes run by different bus companies are not on any combined website :-( - our guide simplifies and brings it all together for visitors.

Best tip we can give you are Menorca's bus companies are very pragmatic, so bus services especially to beach resorts are increased / reduced based on visitor numbers! This can be the case in September / October.

3 'Seasonal Timetables'

Guideline only as these date are also 'pragmatic' and can change :-)

• From 1st to May 31
• From 1st to 23th of June
• From 23rd of June to September 30

However services are reliable, cheap and comfortable. Some trips requiring changes of bus need pre-planning regards timing!

...more good to know stuff

Menorca is different - the road network preserves the island's natural beauty especially along the coast where few roads exist. Menorca's Bus Network covers the essentials and is served by three autonomous ( but co-operating ) companies which can present challenges for the Holiday Visitor.

No direct Airport / Shuttle buses to any beach resorts only a Public Bus to Mahon. However Airport Bus no.10 is not a great Transfer option - requires a change at Mahon Bus station and possible long wait for services to your Holiday Resort - see Airport Transfer Options

Beach resorts operate 'Seasonal Bus services' broadly as follows:

• From 1st to May 31
• From 1st to 23th of June
• From 23rd of June to September

Meaning there might be NO services/less frequency to Holiday beach resorts (Nov-April) because most Beach Resorts have few residents. Additionally the local Fiesta may affect bus times.

South Coast Bus Routes

Note during Ciutadella Fiesta 22-25 June a special timetable and pricing operates

BUS STOP ( Bus company Torres ) is at Via Perimetral for destinations to Ferry Terminal,Sa Caleta,Santandria,Cala Blanca,Cala en Bosch,Son Xoriguer,Los Delfines,Cala en Forcat,Cala en Blanes and Cala Morell.

In the East Mahon / Maó and West,Cutadella Bus stations are major bus connection hubs and combined with menorca's towns lying om the main ME-1 road provide many more bus connections than at first Sight . one of the towns along the island's major back bone road (ME-1) where you will also be able to change for other destinations. Major changing points are Alaior,Es Mercadal and Ferreries - they are also good places to spend time in aswell.

Good to know - IMPORTANT All bus routes are determined by the environmentally sensitive Menorca road network which rarely goes along a coastline so you may well have to travel inland to reach somewhere 'just along the coast'.( See Bus Routes map below to understand)

With planning via Town Bus hubs many key destinantions can be travelled by bus on Menorca, but may involve 1 or 2 changes ( separate tickets!)

IMPORTANT the local menorcan name for Mahon is (Maó) which will be shown on Bus, local timetables,bus displays and signposts. Drivers will understand Mahon and saying Maó ('Maow') will win you a smile!

For hygiene reasons bus drivers may refuse passengers without covering clothing!

Most buses are Air Conditioned

It is possible to walk parts of the Cami de Cavalls coastal path using a Bus as the path always runs through a coastal resort. Use the Network Map to see what's possible
