Ibiza buses: the 2026 network, route by route

Ibiza Connects · Updated on October 16, 2026 · 11 min read

If you search for Ibiza bus timetables and get the L3, L9 or L10, you're reading out-of-date information. Since April 2026 the island has had a new network, with new names, redesigned routes and different prices depending on how you pay. This guide explains it the way we'd have liked to find it: what each letter means, which route to take for the usual journeys, what it costs and what stops running when summer ends. If you're still weighing up bus versus car, start with getting around Ibiza without a car.

What changed on Ibiza's buses on 1 April 2026

Until March 2026 road transport in Ibiza was split between several concessions and routes were numbered with an L. The Consell d'Eivissa (the island council) awarded a single ten-year contract to Alsa, which runs the service under the Transport Públic d'Eivissa brand. The changes you'll notice:

• New names. Each route has a letter showing its role, plus a number. The old L3 from San Antonio (Sant Antoni) to Ibiza via Sant Rafel is now the T1; the L9 from the airport to San Antonio is the AERO1; the L10 is the AERO2; and the L10E express is the AERO3. The L13 to Santa Eulalia (Santa Eulària) became the T3, and the L14 to Playa d'en Bossa (Platja d'en Bossa) the U4.
• A renewed fleet, with around a hundred buses, most of them zero-emission according to the service launch. Many have wifi and USB sockets.
• Higher frequencies on the main corridors. In season, the T1 between San Antonio and Ibiza runs every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday and the T3 between Santa Eulalia and Ibiza every 20.
• Card payment on board, cheaper than cash.
• New routes, such as the N7 night circular around the north, or the A16 between San Antonio and Sant Josep via Sant Agustí.

The roll-out was gradual and some of the new buses arrived during 2026. If you see an older vehicle with the new route sign, that's normal.

Route types: what each letter means

In Ibiza Town almost every intercity route starts or ends at the CETIS bus station, next to Can Misses hospital, not at the port. Many also stop in the centre (Eivissa Centre or Vara de Rey stop), but check route by route. In San Antonio the terminus is the town's bus station, and in Santa Eulalia the main bus stop.

The routes you'll use most

Frequencies for high season 2026 (May to September or October, depending on the route). They're lower in winter.

Others worth knowing: the T5 links San Antonio and Santa Eulalia through the interior without going via Ibiza Town, the P9 runs from Ibiza down to Cala Tarida via Sa Caleta and Sant Josep, and the A2 goes from Ibiza to Jesús and Cala Llonga. Exact timetables for every route are on the operator's website as PDFs and change with the season (there are usually separate tables for November-March, April and October, and May-September). To get from the airport to your accommodation, the article has a table of the five AERO routes, and you'll find the coves with a nearby stop in our Ibiza beach guide.

Tickets, passes and resident discounts

The fare depends on distance (in bands) and how you pay. These are the standard fares as of October 2026:

Where to buy: on the bus itself (card or cash), on alsaibiza.es, in Alsa's Mobi4U app, at the ticket offices at CETIS and San Antonio bus station, and at ticket machines at the airport, CETIS, San Antonio, the port (Botafoc pier), the Santa Eulalia stop and the Es Canar stop. From 21:00 the website stops selling tickets: after that you pay on board.

The T4 pass for visitors

Since June 2026 there's been a pass aimed at people spending a few days on the island: €25 for 96 hours of unlimited travel, counted from the first validation. It's in your name (bought with your name and ID card or passport number), valid for one person per journey, and arrives as a QR code if you buy it online or in the app. It pays off from about 15 short journeys over the four days (roughly four a day) or about 10 long ones. Before buying it for the airport or the disco bus, check on the website that those routes are included, because the public information doesn't make it clear.

The resident card

Ibiza residents can get the Consell's transport card, personal and with a photo, in four profiles (general, silver, gold and youth). With the general profile a short journey drops to €1, and it allows up to two transfers within 120 minutes. The first card costs €3 and is issued by appointment at the Consell's registry office (Avenida de España, 49) or at some town hall offices. If you're planning to live here, there's more background in living in Ibiza year-round.

The app and real-time bus tracking

The tool the service itself recommends is Alsa's Mobi4U app: it plans your journey, sells QR tickets and shows the next departures. The alsaibiza.es website also has a real-time section with bus positions and upcoming arrivals at each stop, and that's where you download the timetable PDFs.

Two tips:

• Download the PDFs for your routes on day one. At some coves the signal is poor just when you need to get back.
• Check the notices on the website's home page. Disruption from roadworks, diversions or strikes is announced there.

Disco bus and night buses in summer

Ibiza has two kinds of night bus, and it pays not to mix them up:

• N night routes (all year). Seven routes running on Friday and Saturday nights and the eve of public holidays, usually between 23:00 and 4:00. The most useful are the N1 (Ibiza-Sant Josep-San Antonio) and the N4 (Ibiza-Sant Rafel-San Antonio), which run hourly; the N6 between Ibiza and Playa d'en Bossa every half hour; and the N2 to Santa Eulalia.
• D disco bus (club season). Four routes running through the night from June to September (the D2 and D4 every night), and in October only on closing-party nights. The D1 links San Antonio with Pacha, next to Ibiza port, via Sant Rafel (UNVRS and Amnesia); the D2 runs from Ibiza port and Pacha to Playa d'en Bossa (Ushuaïa) every half hour between 0:00 and 6:00; the D3 links San Antonio with Playa d'en Bossa; and the D4 goes from the port to Santa Eulalia and Es Canar.

The disco bus is the cheapest way home from a club, but at 6am on an August Saturday the queues get long. If you're leaving a daytime party that ends at midnight, check that route's timetable, as some nights have special schedules. To choose a club and see how to reach each one, read our Ibiza clubs guide, and for the rest of the night (bars, terraces and parties outside the clubs), our Ibiza nightlife guide.

Winter: which routes keep running and how often

From 1 November to 31 March the network shrinks, but it doesn't disappear:

• Still running: the T trunk routes (some with fewer departures), the urban routes, most of the A routes and the weekend N night buses.
• The airport is covered by the AERO2 every half hour all year, and by the AERO1 and AERO4 every two hours. The AERO3 express and the AERO5 to Playa d'en Bossa don't run in winter.
• Stopped: almost all P beach routes and the entire disco bus. The P routes to Cala Comte, Cala Bassa and Cala Salada run from May to October; those to Ses Salines and Benirràs for fewer months.
• The north is left with only a handful of departures a day: the T6 from Ibiza to Sant Joan has seven services on winter weekdays and three at weekends, and not all of them go on to Portinatx.

If you're coming out of season, plan your trip around Ibiza Town or Santa Eulalia and combine the bus with the odd taxi. We cover what opens and what closes in Ibiza in winter.

Common mistakes

• Looking for the old route. If a blog or a Reddit thread tells you to "take the L3", translate it: it's the T1.
• Waiting at the port for a route that starts at CETIS. In Ibiza Town many routes start at the Can Misses bus station.
• Missing the last bus back from the beach. The P4 leaves Cala Comte for the last time at around 21:45 in high summer and around 18:40 in May and October. Write it down.
• Not putting your hand out. At roadside stops the driver won't always pull in unless you signal.
• Paying cash every time. By card, each journey is between 70 cents and €1.60 cheaper.
• Waiting at a stop with no shade at 3pm. Bring water and a cap: some waits are long.
• Counting on a night bus on a Tuesday. The N routes only run on Fridays, Saturdays and the eve of public holidays.
